> as soon as they switched to their Electron client, it has become yet another resource hog that I have to put up with. FWIW I use Zulip every day -- I work on Zulip, and naturally we use it among ourselves -- and I never touch the Electron client, because I prefer the experience of a browser tab. Chrome's task manager (shift-esc) reports that tab is using 281M right now. Less than Gmail, or some old GitHub tabs (>1G, yikes!), or a freshly-started VS Code (... oh wow, or my Emacs which is at 337M. Wasn't expecting that.) Not sure how that compares to the Electron app. As another reply pointed out, there is also a terminal client!
