Huh? I complain about RAM usage and garbage collection CPU time in my Electron apps just plenty. And those apps are huge too. I've never once needed to uninstall an application because I needed to reclaim the disk space. Just games and media files.

If you're talking about the server side....well I think you'd save a lot more on less vCPU than a little more attached storage.

So let me put it back on you: except maybe IoT, where do you run into problems where your app takes up too much disk space?

EDIT: Maybe it's an update/bandwidth thing? Or a Docker pull time in CI? I'm trying to play devil's advocate here...

What does this have to do with C#? Surely you hold it to a higher standard than electron of all things—C# has been around for 18 years. Electron is just repackaging a browser as an app. Is this the standard to which microsoft holds themselves? Might as well sell scripts for google docs....
