If you intend to write a big software, it matters a lot because 
they already require quite a lot of RAM. Look at most 
professional softs, they are native yet takes a big amount of RAM 
(Let's estimate it to 4 GB, for Visual Studio and light usage of 
Adobe software IIRC back when I was on Windows). Then look at 
Electron apps. They are taking a comparable amount of RAM (400 MB 
for Discord ~ 2 GB for Slack), while they offer almost nothing in 
comparison. If you make a web app you are already accepting to 
sacrifice a lot of performance while a native GUI framework would 
probably have allowed more flexibility (taking advantage of 
language features) while being way more efficient in resource.
