>People crave for native apps. Nobody wants to work from the browser. Ah the irony

  Not sure why this is getting downvoted, but JVM is just as native as browser is. The jetbrains IDE mentioned in the article is especially very clunky and slow resource hog. In fact so much, that I would actually prefer using electron app over it.

    Whaat, I would not call intellij unbelievably fast, but it is a resource hog because it does a million thing at once. Compare it to visual studio, which is something that barely works and has inferior auto-complete, etc. An electron app of that complexity would require a supercomputer to even start

      For sure. In the case of IntelliJ resource usage, you get what you pay for.

    Do you have any idea the complexity and amount of stuff Intellij does behind the scenes?
    • Cloudef 6y ago
      The complexity of getting in the way, melting your computer and not allowing you to write single line of code at the end of the day?

        I've found Eclipse much worse in this regard.
        • Cloudef 6y ago
          Sure, they are both bad.
