Thunderbird already needs HTML and CSS for rendering emails, and needs JS for XUL anyways, right? So Thunderbird already needs HTML, CSS, and JS engines at any given time. Where will the memory bloat come from by moving to using HTML, CSS, and JS for the UI?
- pwdisswordfish0 6y agoIt's the culture of Electron and NodeJS/NPM and their programming style. Switching to Electron wouldn't require adopting those, but the practices associated with the "modern JS" crowd are almost certain to end up infecting the way that Thunderbird is developed just like it has infected essentially everything about the way anyone does JS these days.
