Check Typora Markdown editor: https://typora.io/ https://typora.io/ - it is a markdown editor made with Electron. It has as sort of WYSIWYG editor as markdown source editing so it is conceptually close to html-notepad. All basic ratios are the same - it consumes RAM 4-5 times more than it should. Same with distribution size and size on disk. Yet I think that it will be fair to compare Sublime Text and Visual Code as they have close functionality. Sublime (has its own DOM and uses script for plugins) consumes 10 times less RAM than Visual Code. Each Electron application is a full scale browser with its own JS VM instance and Node.js that is full scale web server with another instance of JS VM. It is just that for communication they use IPC rather than HTTP. As many E applications you are running as many browsers and servers you have in memory. That is by Electron's design - nothing new here.
