> My laptop has about 32 gigs of ram Mine has 8GB, and I'm a developer and photographer. A "normal" user won't even have that. In the course of my "computer-janitorial duties" that the extended family expects from a relative who "works with computers", I have only seen >8GB in one teenager's gaming PC. All their laptops (some rather recent) have 4GB and low-power mobile chips. Skype, Spotify and Discord (in the background!) will bring their computer to a crawl. Add one or two Chrome tabs and all the computer is good for is a space heater. Electron is a great value, true, but that's mostly because JS developers are plenty and therefore cheap. As a mostly web developer with little C++ experience, I was able to pick up QtQuick in a week and I've gotten actual user feedback saying they prefer that over the previous otherwise-identical Electron versions.
