You can make an efficient Electron app, just look at VS Code.
- andrewnc 7y agoMy VS code was using 10 GB of RAM today... It's better than other electron apps, but I would argue still not efficient
- aembleton 7y agoDid you open a 10GB file in it? Mine is using 200MB right now with a PHP project open in it.
- executesorder66 7y agoIs that project 200MB of PHP? Because 200MB of RAM seems obese at best for a text editor.
- dijit 7y agoI agree with you. However I don’t think it’s fair to call VSCode just a text editor. It’s not quite an IDE, but it’s a weird middle ground. The nearest IDE I can think of is kdevelop or jetbrains. kdevelop is disturbingly light, but jetbrains consumes considerably more resources than VSCode. (And for good reason. They tend to do more)
- paggle 7y agoClearly whatever people at MS made Teams do not talk to the people who made VS Code
- blub 7y agoBased on empirical evidence, it seems that humanity can make just one sort of efficient Electron app, and that slot's already filled by VS Code.
