But still, even with electron, it’s performance will be horrible.

Several hundred MB RAM usage for a single Terminal window are just not acceptable.

Somehow many devs today write their software under the assumption that a user with 2GB RAM or 4GB RAM will at all times only run one single piece of software.

I liked the JavaScript IRC client which uses like 400MB of memory.

Exactly. And this is somehow acceptable, or even "industry standard" today.
