I think electron works in really specific things, and even then, it won't be for everyone. Like someone already said, a lot of applications that have good electron apps, have an already amazing web app that already works like a standard app, with even push notifications. In my case, with my 16gb I tend to use the slack app as a way to have it separated from the browser. But in my Macbook with 4gb. My good.
I've been working a lot of time lately with my macbook and I started with Atom. It was a really bad experience in the long run. I liked it at the beginning but it got worst. At some point, even using VS Code that felt a little bit better than Atom, and having chrome with some tabs and some other thing... It felt like I was typing in a virtual machine with 1gb of ram to a ssh pc connected in china... really bad.
And in response of some comments saying that electron makes web developers don't get stuck with just the web... couldn't disagree more. Electron separates you completely from the desktop part. You won't have control and at the end you won't be caring about your user experience that most likely won't have the performance it could have even in simpler cases.
