"But Electron is also awful, since a hello world app uses 100mb of RAM." Is it that awful, though? Most computers come with 4-16GB of RAM.

- flukus 10y agoYes, if hello worlds uses that much then how much do complicated apps use?

- fdgdasfadsf 10y agoYes - some of us want to use our multitasking systems for multitasking.

You can say that it would be better to share a common Electron instance, but it's not an argument against the idea of using web technologies for desktop programming.
