> memory is often not a constraint at all
This type of thought process is how we get Electron applications and when several of them are running at the same time they can bring your OS to a crawl by having consumed every bit of memory available for some simple GUIs. Memory absolutely always matters.
Also the people who I see saying memory doesn't matter are usually developers who are running on 32GB+ work stations. They forget about the user still running with 4GB or 8GB of memory.
- mping 6y agoAs much as I hate electron I'm still waiting for an equivalent, low memory native GUI toolkit that has an equally low barrier to entry.
