It's mind boggling why messaging app has 181 MB.

I'm really starting to get tired of all these bloated JavaScript desktop apps. I get that it's more convenient for developing cross-platform apps with modern looking UIs, but I really wish there would be an increased focus on reducing the overall bloat and resource use, both among app and framework devs.

Speaking as a Windows user, I would vastly prefer a well-designed native application (WinForms/WPF) over a JS monstrosity any day.
