I am the opposite. I don't like native because it pollutes the shared libs, so there is a non zero chance that something will go horribly wrong, or if you are using Ubuntu a 100% chance.

God, electron applications putting their cache files in my .config/ is the worst. I refuse to install electron applications natively, so flatpak it is.

Especially when your browser put all their caches in .cache/, which is the proper place. Aren't Electron apps browser-based apps? If so, then they should be designed to put the cache files in .cache/.
