I use many electron apps. i don’t like that they are electron, and they are more bloated than native. However, my laptop and desktop never come close to needing more RAM. Each app is basically just a heavy browser tab. The UX is acceptable. That is about it really.
- cultofmetatron 4y agoI have a ton of ram. the biggest issue I have with electron is that it sucks battery down. As cto of a startup, I fully understand the case for it. one codebase, less to maintain and easier to focus on pumping out features. That said, I wish slack would consider going all native for their desktop apps. Its a memory hog and for something that runs on my desktop all day, I would prefer if it sipped power and ran fast
