I'm not debating whether it's hard or not. I've worked with GUI toolkits some 16-18 years ago. It wasn't a walk in the park indeed but you had the means to produce a very snappy and responsive app.

Can the same be said about Electron-based apps?

I'm too losing my train of thought sometimes waiting for pages/apps to load. It's embarrassing and I'm face-palming.



I'm strictly talking about text-based pages. It's not hard for us, skilled web developers, but it is hard for people who just want to get their content online.
