Wish I could upvote this twice. The trend of using electron for desktop apps seems to waste a lot of battery and RAM. Between Atom and Slack I was losing between 3 and 5 GB of RAM. Ended up going back to Sublime and it rarely exceeds 300MB.
- pvorb 10y agoYou really should go back to vim
- TeMPOraL 10y agoUpvoted it for you. The current proliferation of web bloat is getting ridiculous.
- pjmlp 10y agoThe best way of making them go away is not to use them. I only open an exception to VS Code, because it is currently the best experience to edit Rust code.
- Philipp__ 10y agoYup, this! I like to have one GUI editor on my machine (I open it once month, because I live in iTerm with tmux and vim) and people on reddit convinced me to give Atom a shot. It has some really neat ideas, but in the end it is such a hog, so I deleted it. I cannot recommend electron as platform to anybody at this right moment. Some elctron apps used more resources and energy than IntelliJ Idea, which is ridiculous considering usage and specter of things that those programs are covering.
