In all honesty, there's a whole slew of platforms it could be:

- Slack

- Keybase

- Mattermost

- Discord

- Microsoft Teams

- Facebook Messenger (incl. Work)

All of these fine folks apparently use Electron or a similar technology...

Cisco Jabber also embeds a browser engine.

I think of Electron as Gresham's law in action.

In my experience the Discord client has been pretty smooth in general.

Slack on the other hand can be very slow at times.

Or it could be Rambox with all of those!
