The only Electron application people can mention that’s actually good, seems to VSCode.
Electron has it’s place, but I think you can go to small. VSCode can use 2GB of memory, because it’s an IDE with a ton of feature. The overhead of Electron doesn’t matter in the context of an IDE. For a markdown editor, Electron alone will push the system resources way above what’s reasonable.
Then there’s the problem that Electron application fails to provide a native look and feel on all platforms.
I don’t know that the look and feel can be fixed. Solutions like QT and WXWidgets never really got it right, so assuming the Electron can seems unrealistic. What can be fix is resource requirements and performance. We should push for a more lightweight Electron, if we want to use it for smaller application.
