I'd be saying "Yeah!" along with you, but that client is also a video chat and audio calling app, not just text and images.

There's bloatware out there, and this may even qualify, but it isn't just text chat. (Why would you use the desktop client for text chat anyway?)

Skype also has audio and video, with custom codecs even, and p2p, yet it wasn't even close to using the very real 1gb of ram slack consumes

(I'm talking about the old desktop client, not the new electron based one)
