Pop’s performance is something we have spent significant time improving, and we’ll continue to do so. My only ask is for folks to try the product and judge its performance (or lack thereof) on its own merits, regardless of presumptions based on our use of Electron. We have thousands of daily active users that continue to use the product happily.

Yep, I’m not saying electron means slow but I think it takes skill to keep any app fast especially on the web stack. Glad this is a focus for you!

With the work from home boom you may be often running on lower spec machines than the developers work pc that they are remotely connecting to.

You’re absolutely right, and we do need to do a better job for lower spec machines. Lots of work left to be done, for sure!
It's not about lower spec machines. It's more about using far less resources on very much capable machines, and leave the other resources for other processes, as long as there is a way of doing so.
