Nuance is always a thing. Native apps are faster and better most of the time. Electron and React Native wouldn't annoy me so much if they were used with small apps where it's not worth over-optimizing.
However, it's now the default for Multiplatform apps that are used constantly, including IDEs, chat apps, etc. They gobble up memory and cpu cycles and are constantly getting updates due to the shitshow that is the javascript dependancy ecosystem.
React Native apps make more revenue than Flutter and Native apps according to Revenue Cat report published on June 3rd, 2026.

Thanks, but from the same article:
"First key learning: execution matters far more than stack choice"
which directly translates to: make a great app and nobody cares about the tech and this includes whether or not to use Liquid Glass.
I would rather have the opposite? I don't want 10 people making small apps that use Electron. I would rather that be used for bigger apps where the overhead is negligible.
