I see the advantages of bundled websites masquerading as desktop application in regards to platform support. But, is it really worth to have applications that take up 1 GB just for editing text or just for chatting? If it was only one such application, then it might have even been fine. But the plethora of chat applications and all of them heavy-weight Electron implementations really is a waste of memory. I need that saved memory to compile in parallel. The same goes for Visual Studio Code. For me, it is visibly lagging when moving the cursor, scrolling, or editing, especially when it is large amount of syntax-highlighted text. Good old native text editors are still so much more responsive and less resource-intensive.
