I actually find that Spotify is a good example of a well made JS desktop app:
_ I used it on Windows, OSX and several Linux distros and really like the fact that the experience is the same everywhere.
_ No notable performance issues even with modest configs. It's been always usable in my experience.
_ Install size is on par with its competitors
_ Never noticed battery draining but I'll probably keep an eye out for this one now that you made me think about it :)
I really doubt that a normal user would notice a difference.
Concerning code maintenance, it would be interesting to hear the opinion of someone who worked on such a complex desktop hybrid app.
