Then why are Discord and Visual Studio Code both so popular and well liked by their users?

Because they provide features their users care about. Not because of their choice of framework.

Proving that features are important, native controls...not so much.

Any data backing that up? Don't forget HN users are a bubble. I'm actually pretty sure standard users don't even notice a difference between Electron and native apps. I for one sometimes prefer Electron apps over badly designed and ugly native apps.
