The meaning of high quality software can be argued. Another HN comment put it pretty well:

>People are more likely to use a buggy app that has features they want over a perfect app with limited features.

I understand the article is specifically addressing the slowness of chat apps..if we’re talking about messenger: I’m sure they could use a fraction of the RAM with the same features. But the fact of the matter is that it has the features people want and we will continue to use it. Is Facebook so in the wrong if their RAM hungry App is so successful? I’m not sure.

On a side note regarding good software, I enjoyed using a site called teamtreehouse so much that I pay for it still 3 years later and I never log in.
