I'm with this article. It's a ton of making mountains out of molehills. People chill out. In truth it doesn't really affect you. You're applying particular, selective tastes. This article covers those preferences well & gives them, in my view, the just & fair treatment they deserve. And concludes that those factors don't really matter. I personally concur with the author's review of the assorted complaints. I'm ready to be surprised, but I just want to note how dangerous this post is to write: I'm arguing against people who complain, arguing against a vocal loud echoing force that is all over the place, complaining about this issue. This comes up repeatedly, people seem really distressed. Trying to counter that is an impossible task. These people will not be sated. We could fix the re-distribution of the runtime & it wouldn't be enough. We could get slack to fix their terrible memory-hungry code & it wouldn't be enough. I've picked a poor group of people to disagree with online: victory against this group is impossible. But I continue to think this is an extremely vocal minority, that it is an prevailing attitude & disagreeableness which we should identify & snuff out, which we should be aware of in ourselves & in others: our desire for things our way, and our willingness to permit other options.

  It affects somebody. Perspectives like this are so America-centric.

    But mostly it's just a bunch of crying & whining by huge online babies with 16GB+ of ram.

      >But mostly it's just a bunch of crying & whining by huge online babies with 16GB+ of ram. Mate, I don't know about that but the only belly-aching going on in this discussion emanate from your replies.

        That's not how I see it. I see everyone else as being way too uptight & worried about something that's not a problem, or attributing to Electron the faults of Slack. I, like the author, feel like an active defense is necessary. It's time to let these boorish unceasing whinings go on unchallenged. My bloody daily driver linux laptop is 4gb, and near to 5 years old. Electron poses no challenge whatsoever to me. It has no negative impact on my life. And it's a far far far better far more compelling development environment than the alternatives, of which very few are cross-platform.
