The memory usage issue is insane. My work laptop is regularly at 20GB memory usage partly because all of these electron apps take up 300mb to sit in the background and show me a notification every now and then. Its hugely refreshing to see my notes app (Zim Wiki) using 19mb of ram while being super fast and providing a huge amount of utility.

Also interesting to note that this relatively super-fast app is written in Python.
