70MB is less then U$0.01

And for that, you get one hell of a text/layout engine, hardware accelerated 2D/3D graphics, integrated IDE, one the fastest interpreted runtimes around, which happens to be the most popular programing language…

All Open Source, cross platform.

Yeah, insulting indeed. Who needs those damn Electron apps.

All so you can provide a graphical interface for two ffmpeg flags.

"everything old becomes new again"

reminds me also of the hot new trend of chat based interfaces. (hmmm, pretty sure that was our default computer interface back in 60's/70's/80's)

Maybe tangential but I think V8's speed has become somewhat mythologized. In AWFY [0] benchmarks I've seen JSC routinely come in 30-50% faster.
