> Even a very large amount of data pasted should not blow up a text box in 2021. I mean, on Windows you can paste an object referring to a data blob pretty sure, macOS surely has something similar and on X/Wayland you could sniff and size of data pasted in advance and do something useful. You can do so for sure. But can you do all these platform specific optimisations in Electron? And even if you could, the reason companies go for electron is that they don't want to bother with platform specific stuff so they're really likely not to bother. A agree a mere few megabytes of text should not bother any computer made this decade by the way and that teams is a pig of an app. But the problem is not what's possible, it's them prioritising new features over performance and with that all the technology decisions they made.
