It is also buggy, resource hog and instable. I use it on Ubuntu and os x m1 and I often have to kill it because it stops accepting any inputs or it ate all memory (and cpu after that when you click anything). Hoppscotsch and others are better now: I guess they wanted way too much too fast (I did not check but I suppose they got VC money?)?

Can confirm. Unfortunately, Postman is too resource-hungry (on Ubuntu). Launching is taking a while as well.

I have to admit I'm quite surprised that VS Code (which is also an electron app) is relatively fast and resource-sensitive. Having open a few applications in my daily workflow, moderate resource consumption is getting an important selling point for me.
