> What does lightweight mean?
It would traditionally mean a program running as little code as possible (dependencies included) for a given task, instead of relying on piles of pre-made libraries and frameworks, which obviously creep way more features than required.
However in this day and age, lightweight usually means it's not based on a web engine, although quite often it could still be huge and needlessly complex.
