I'm not a fan of it either. When I say have a web UI, I don't mean electron, I mean the program runs as a web server on some port your local machine and you point you web browser at it.
I don't think electron should exist.

And I hate the existence of keyboard shortcuts, or at least hard-to-discover ones. On a daily basis I accidentally press keys (I've no idea which ones) that make my windows misbehave.
I also don't think I should have to learn keyboard shortcuts -- interfaces should be discoverable and not require you to memorise stuff.

Then use a text UI not a GUI. Back in the day, Borland made extensive use of these for Turbo Pascal and they worked well and looked good. As a bonus (like a web app) they can run easily on an external machine.

I've used git for years and before it other source control systems. I don't remember a single instance where the slowness of the source control system was ever a factor.
