People are always complaining about Electron for shipping along with every single application, but actually, modern Linux desktop is not that far away from this just by itself. On a relatively standard desktop installation I currently have

- webkit-gtk2 - webkit-gtk3 - qtwebkit - qtwebengine

Additionally I have two Geckos for Firefox and Thunderbird. All of them use skia, which then also gets compiled 6 times in total.

Using Gentoo, I'm a bit sensitive to this sort of thing ;)
