I wish more companies would choose Electron instead of native apps so they could iterate faster on all platforms.

I bet most people who have a problem with Electron are laptop users. I use a refurbished HP desktop i7 that I bought two years ago for $300 on Amazon and upgraded the SSD and 32gb RAM for another $250 or so. I can run numerous instances of VS Code, Chrome, Slack, Postman, etc all day without even a hint of a slowdown. I also never hear my fans go on, not ever.

I work in a nice quiet room and I don’t have to travel to work. I never understood why people want to optimize for working on trains, planes and in meetings. Even when I was going into the office, I didn’t need to bring my computer home because I had the exact same machine at home since it was so cheap.

I have desktop and I hate Electron apps with a passion.

Sure one or two apps are ok. But since each app is Electron (not literally but a huge number). Your RAM melts like butter in near Sun's orbit.

Discord somehow manages to run quite efficiently in contrast to nearly every other Electron app out there.
