Life's a little different now than in the old XP days. Disk space and ram aren't as limiting as before and the slow redraw times of qt and other cross-platform libraries have been taken care of by GPU hardware acceleration, faster ram, and faster CPUs.
These complaints were valid back then and our opinions didn't change because of things like Electron, as much as our hardware is so much more powerful. I remember dreading running Java desktop apps and now I can barely see the difference between them and native win32 apps. Heck, running an app on a virtualized OS on top of my native OS is often fairly performant nowadays.
