> It is hard to understand people cares about memory useage when desktops nowadays have a lot of RAM. What average Electron apps annoys me is their constant high CPU load. Some apps take ~10% of CPU load all the time.
The problem with the RAM consumption is not when you run a single Electron app in isolation, it's when you try and run a few of them and suddenly you're running hundreds of Chrome threads and you've used 8GB RAM.
