  I think he is saying that electron apps are bad because they are so power hungry. I'm using a 2008 macbook as well and I don't have any huge problems with most apps. I do stay away from web-tech-based apps as much as I can though.

  And modern software that behaves respectfully, I'd expect, especially if it's doing something that my 100Mhz Pentium w/ 64MB (with an M) of memory used to manage just fine (graphical email client). With the bonus that newer machines can run more such programs at once, and enjoy longer battery life.

  I'm not sure what your point is. Nylas looks pretty cool, but is it doing so much more than other 10 year old email clients? Is it features or implementation choices that lead to relatively high resource usage?
