I disagree.

Sadly, we need to balance features, performance and expectations with our own expectations about what kind of software we want to deliver.

I sincerely hate Electron and the whole ecosystem of bloated apps it enables BUT having matured a bit i can understand why it exists. People that hold the money want software out and want it fast and they don't care if the customer now needs almost 4 gigs of ram in their phone just to play music or browse the odd website.

A depressing state of affairs imho, specially for us "old folks" which enjoyed our software native and optimized as much as we could.
