How many Electron applications do you honestly have running on your computer at any given time such that 100MB each is so concerning?
Right now I'm running VS Code and PyCharm, each with an one open project and one open editor. PyCharm is eating 1.8 GB while VS Code is only eating 130 MB. Funny enough, I see people complain about VS Code being a resource-hungry Electron app all the time but I've never seen anyone gripe about the resource usage of JetBrainz IDEs.
This isn't an excuse to Electron all the things, but browser-based GUIs do have their place.
