I’m not sure I know many Electron apps that are worth running.
There is WhatsApp, but I just run the browser version. For Matrix, there’s NeoChat, which uses QML and is definitely better than Electron.
android-studio : I guess that explains why it ran so badly back when I had to use it for work. jdk wouldn’t be an Electron app, right?
discord is the only 1 of those that I used in any meaningful sense before and I already stopped using it for reasons other than Electron. So, I guess it’s just a personal thing that I don’t tend to require stuff that is made in Electron.
I believe Android Studio is built on top of IntelliJ IDE which uses Java, so no Electron. That being said, Java applications are generally RAM heavy as well and Android Studio was always a pig on resources.
Visual Studio Code (not Visual Studio!) is Electron based but I’ve always had good performance with it.

I think spotify / discord / vscode (and derivatives) / slack are probably the most installed electron apps.

A lot of pretty popular packages in those lists are electron apps, unfortunately
