Not sure why this is getting downvoted, but JVM is just as native as browser is. The jetbrains IDE mentioned in the article is especially very clunky and slow resource hog. In fact so much, that I would actually prefer using electron app over it.
Whaat, I would not call intellij unbelievably fast, but it is a resource hog because it does a million thing at once. Compare it to visual studio, which is something that barely works and has inferior auto-complete, etc.
An electron app of that complexity would require a supercomputer to even start
