>But for apps like Slack, Visual Studio Code, Atom, etc, it works pretty good. I won't get into a long rant, but aside from on OSX, Slack and Atom are slow, resource hogging and unstable piles of crap. Atom couples that with bad architecture and engineering choice, but that's not Electron's fault. (Also, your comparison with English is bad. English naturally evolved to the state it is in today. Javascript was designed from scratch, and it still manages to be awful. Also, sorry, Javascript isn't the most common language, thankfully.)

> I won't get into a long rant, but aside from on OSX Ah, so they're better on OSX? On Windows 7 all the slack.exe processes are currently using 780MB RAM in total, and I'm only signed into 3 Slack communities. Shocking!

I have an i7 desktop with 32gb of ram.. a recent rMBP i7/16gb-ram for my personal labtop, and another work issued one... I also use VMs with Linux frequently... VS Code is one of the better code editors I've used. Given, I'm on fast machines with plenty of ram... I really haven't had a serious problem with it... hell, my browser typically uses up way more ram than any other single application on my computer... it still does the job well enough... That's the key right there "Well enough"...

>Slack and Atom are slow, resource hogging and unstable piles of crap Atom is my primary editor and I am extremely satisfied with it. Your self-righteous arrogant attitude is strange and has nothing to do with objective, rational criticism.
