There seems to be an opportunity here for platform vendors like Microsoft or Apple to be a bit more aggressive about "this application is what's slowing you down" notifications. (With the ability for the user to say "yes, I'm editing a 4-hour movie, don't warn me about this app again".)
Don't Apple already do something similar for battery hogs? May be misremembering, but I'd have thought a similar principle applied.
Half the challenge of course would be dissuading the vendor from excluding their own apps from these notifications.

- ilikehurdles 7y agoMicrosoft did something similar for every browser that wasn't Edge. But yes, on OS X, the battery drop-down will list any apps that are consuming significant amounts of energy. For me these are constantly Chrome and Intellij IDEA.

- pjmlp 7y agoDoes Atom provide a GUI, ER or UML designer out of the box?
- AlchemistCamp 7y agoI don't know. Atom is too slow for me as well. I generally use VS Code or just VIM.
