There's nothing that says a web app has to be sluggish. You don't need an entire chromium instance to run a single web app. Web views are usually more performant, but have the issues of compatibility (Chromium vs Firefox vs WebKit), but it still seems worth it to me.
- jaystraw 3y agoThere's nothing that says that of course, but my RAM says fooey to webapping a tool like Inkscape. I use it almost every day, I just finished using it to make a poster where I needed to print out a hi-res background with text that would be in juuuuust the right position for me to use my typewriter to type on it and have that text end up in exactly the right place, then scanned that at 1200dpi and used inkscape to crop and export the final piece. I do not think my browser is ready for an 8000x8000 raster image with svg clipping etc. Not to mention the ungodly large bitmap traces, with hundreds of thousands of nodes... A browser tool like Inkscape would be cool and useful. But no replacement.
