Yeah Electron is bad for users. I know MBAs love it because they can fire 1/2 of their devs and still check the "we support cross-platform" box. Try this 1-lin

Yeah Electron is bad for users. I know MBAs love it because they can fire 1/2 of their devs and still check the "we support cross-platform" box. Try this 1-liner in your Terminal (if you're on Mac) e=$(find /Applications -name "Electron Framework.framework" -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 4 | wc -l); t=$(find /Applications -name "*.app" -maxdepth 1 | wc -l); p=$(bc -l <<<"($e/$t)*100"); printf '%.2f%s\n' "$p" "% of your apps are Electron" On my system, about 20% of my installed apps are Electron now, and this number is growing. No matter how much RAM & CPU you throw at these dogs, they just don't run any better. Gobs of RAM, wasteful use of CPU cycles. A modern desktop dystopia.
