Firtstly writing Qt desktop apps in Python is pretty popular so we don’t need to stick with C++ to write Qt app. It is hard to understand people cares about memory useage when desktops nowadays have a lot of RAM. What average Electron apps annoys me is their constant high CPU load. Some apps take ~10% of CPU load all the time. I think Electron itself is fine. Look at VS Code. It is fast even though it is written in Electron. The real problem is the bad habits of average Electron apps developers. The Electron devs usually come from Web where users can just press a refresh button or close it when browsers are slow. They don’t care about optimizing stuff. |

The problem with the RAM consumption is not when you run a single Electron app in isolation, it's when you try and run a few of them and suddenly you're running hundreds of Chrome threads and you've used 8GB RAM.
