What's the beef with Electron?
- coffeeling 3y agoUsually high resource use - more RAM use, using the processor more while idling, etc. and usually poorer integration into the OS in terms of look and feel and in terms of actual integrations. eg. native Outlook - ~200-250MB RAM use, same email open in Outlook Online-based New Outlook/Project Monarch: 400MB, and Monarch isn't even Electron but a supposedly lighter architecture. Microsoft To Do (UWP): ~100MB Todoist (Electron): 300MB The RAM usage adds up, especially on older hardware.
