> sometimes the performance of native APIs is poor and hard to improve (Apple has this problem frequently).

Compared to the alternatives (especially Electron, where you oddly forgot to mention this), the performance from native Apple APIs is often the best you can get.

Have you looked at stuff like TextKit 2 etc.?



I like Apple a lot, it is the most pleasant platform to develop for IMO, but performance depends a lot on what you're doing and how much they've optimized it.
