I feel like this argument is the software engineer's version of "smaller government" political ideology. Yes, we want small, fast processes. Yes, we want efficiency. But we want efficiency _for the sake of usability_. For the Linux user, Sloth is (nearly) useless. Electron would have provided great value (at the cost of and under the burden of larger hardware, etc.) Complexity and resource usage creep isn't going away, although I applaud efforts to reduce complexity and use resources parsimoniously.
