On my system, a long running Slack process uses about as much memory as a Finder window.

  But what about power usage? Battery life is important.

    I can't say I've measured it quantitatively, but it doesn't appear to have a huge effect, but I also don't need to be untethered all day long. When I check the battery status on my Mac, only Chrome is listed in the "Apps that use significant energy" list.

  On mac, slack uses macgap, not electron.

    Was this a recent change? Because electron's homepage[0] still shows that Slack was built on it. [0]: http://electron.atom.io/ http://electron.atom.io/

      On windows (and I guess on linux) they use electron.
