For my students, I go with Electrum Desktop Wallet, because although Electrum has quirks and pitfalls, under supervision these can be overcome, and leaves you with a more powerful tool compared to Sparrow.
What is this secret powerful functionality avail in Electrum but not in Sparrow?

not losing you money by doing a coin join improperly

Is this another way of saying "Electrum doesn't have any privacy features"? Seriously, is that the point? I guess that's a thing you could say -- with a bigger surface area, there's more room for things to go wrong. I've just not heard about any such problem w/ Sparrow, and certainly have not experienced it myself across many mixes.

True. Can't find any serious issues with lost coins on sparrow. I guess my answer is more about potential through user error or a bug given the complexity.
Something like Monero has these by default with much lower "surface area" for user error.
