Electron is nice for a quick and dirty app. Sadly, people think it's ok to use it for making apps that people are going to use.
What I mean by this - I can recognize a non-Elector vs Electron app by the amount of RAM it consumes. Is your simple color picker/text editor/REST caller/mouse config/ToDo app taking 1GB+ of RAM? It's an Electron app.
For the record, I doubt FF based app would face much better.

- Ygg2 7y agoWell you gotta shuffle those GBs.
