All my mobile dev friends cry, native, native, native! On the desktop, I use both Slack and Atom on the regular and haven't had any issues. (Or at least, not since since they did some optimization of Atom.) I'm curious how React Native's "learn once, write twice" philosophy will play out in this ongoing native vs webview argument.

I regularly have issues with Slack's desktop app using a tremendous amount of CPU and memory given the functionality it's offering.

  Same. I regularly notice it using upwards of 1.5GB of ram.

  My coworker has a Mac Pro with 64GB of ram and regular posts screenshots of Slack and Spotify using 20GB + of ram. Granted he never closes those app ever, until they become a problem.
