No one cares one whit about the battery/memory/CPU requirements of software they can't run in the first place.
And at least in my experience, spinning up a VM to run windows only software is a bigger battery/memory/cpu hit than running electron.

I would love it if Electron was better on those fronts (not to mention a few others) but it's good enough for most of my current use cases.
- somewhatbetter 5y agoYes, it is good enough, this is exactly why we still live in the 60's (see linux), this is why we still use windows, this is why there is no seamless GUI on nixes, this is why we still use terminals and users, this is why intelligent, and great operating systems got messacred, this is why there are only mediocre people in the IT, and this is why we can't have nice things. But thanks for continuing the loop.
- horsawlarway 5y agoI think your entitlement is leaking. You might want to have it checked.
- somewhatbetter 5y agoAre you mad because you are also a mediocre programer? You can change that through learning.
