Slack is a poorly-written Electron app, and unfortunately it's the poster child for it.
Discord does more with a fraction of the resources, and is also Electron. Atom is a giant editor framework, and is still less heavy than Slack in normal use.
Electron can run quite reasonably when you aren't an idiot/under complex enterprise requirements which probably explains Slack's load.
