The high power use is what kills me. That and input lag. Fix those and I'd give way fewer shits that an Electron app eats 10x the memory that's remotely justifiable by what it's doing, and more like 20-100x what a well-made desktop program would for the same purpose.
[EDIT] Yeah, I know, high power use and input lag are in part because Webtech disrespects things like system memory, so in practice I'm not going to see one fixed without the other.
