Yes, let's all run separate web browsers as the application and run our own JavaScript inside our browser. Who cares if there's 5 other "apps" doing exactly the same!

Insanity.

I think they were referring more to apps like Slack and other similar JS browser/ JS based apps which run separate from the browser. Maybe I'm being generous? Slack is certainly itself a beast.

Yes this is precisely what I meant. eg. Electron apps, Slack, VS Code, Skype etc. etc. ad nauseum
