Lol why? Are you completely against anything that uses chromium?

Completely against slowness, memory hogging, and discspace wasting.

…Okay, not /completely/. I merely whinge about it too much, and occasionally stumble upon some tiny gloriously responsive app that does what I need.

[Flame=ON] But mostly I whinge. Like "Excel 2010 is so _fast_. Sure, newer versions do /some/ things faster, but even their startup time is so slow that I often consider whether it's even worth opening them to Do A Thing or worth closing them when I'll then have to wait for them to open again later.".

Hiding Electron's nature behind more hamsters (faster hardware) and bigger cages (memory+storage) doesn't seem to work for me. [Flame=OFF]
