Fun Fact! The Spotify desktop client is written in C++! https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-technology-behind-the-Spot....

But I agree, Atom and Slack are really useful to if they consume another 250mb of ram because "It's not optimal", let them use it.

The view layer is powered by Chromium Embedded Framework, so it's not entirely C++.
