The post I responded to mentioned the Electron; I was talking about the client performance in the browser, but I've had similar experiences with the Electron clients for Discord and Slack.
I don't doubt you can make a performant snappy chat GUI with Electron/web tech, but more often than not, in my experience, Qt apps (like Ripcord) perform much better and are less RAM hungry.
