Slack is running a chrome instance - look at it in detail using Sysinternal's Process Explorer. Skype now does the same.

It's so grossly dumb - giant native applications running a hidden web browser to show a webpage that does it utmost to pretend to be a native application (but it doesn't work - Alt-F to launch the File menu in slack but cursor left/right doesn't take you to the next menu like REAL native apps do)....

It's a future I do not wish to be involved with!

It's the like saying about how giving developers 2 weeks worth of work to do in a month's timeframe, and watch it take a month: give web developers unlimited memory and they will find a way to make their desktop applications eat all of it.
