This may be overly cynical, but don’t you have it backwards? 1000x greater memory usage is acceptable for most applications. There are only a few applications

This may be overly cynical, but don’t you have it backwards? 1000x greater memory usage is acceptable for most applications.
There are only a few applications for which it isn’t acceptable.
Just look at all the massive apps built on Electron. People wouldn’t do that if it wasn’t effective.
- wool_gather 7y agoWouldn't you say there's a difference between "effective" and "getting away with it"? If non-technical users see that their daily computing lives are made more complicated (because of lowered performance) by having n Electron apps running at the same time, they may not understand the reasons, but they will certainly choose a different solution that has the features they need, where available.
