Yeah, no more working offline or in places with poor internet connectivity. Instead of small efficient applications we run multiple instances of web browsers, each instance consuming at least 1-2 Gb of RAM (even just to show text chat, like Slack), and they constantly do something even when they are not used. My CPU indicator is always at 5-10% CPU load even when I'm not doing anything, because all these apps are constantly downloading something or doing some mysterious background work that I don't need. My notebook cooler is almost always spinning.

Thanks, that's a great future!

This comment is so off the mark for this context.

1) Responsive site == a site you visit in your native browser, no one is talking about Electron or similar technologies. ecomm/retailers would never use that.

2) Electron is missing the point...why even use native at all of you're a retailer when you can have a website that does both?

HN...always missing the point and going off on some off topic rant.
