The actual title from the article:
> Why I Still Use Vim
I understand that the article title buries the lede, but the current title ("Benchmarks show Electron apps are slow and eat memory like there is no tomorrow") is pretty inflammatory as well ('eat' and 'like there is no tomorrow', mainly).

It's a question of taste. Inflammatory - yes, but bad? I'm not sure if I clicked "Why I still use Vim" as it's quite boring (I know why I'm using it, I don't need anyone else's justifications.) Now I'm happy I read it as the guy actually tried to benchmark these editors so that I don't have to - although arguably the actions measured are probably not a part of a daily routine of a typical programmer.

So, why do we have to integrate a full web browser and a language JIT compiler and a pretty full fledged VM into everything again? (XHTML rendering engine would suffice)
By again I recall Active Desktop. Except now with more standards.
Is it the cost savings of hiring a developer as a web developer?
