The memory arguments are valid, but I don't think I've ever once had an Electron application crash on me. Contrasted with older native applications that would crash on a weekly basis.

Every well written app has multiple processes that can offload work to them and simply restart that single process if it crashes. Even Slack is running a number of processes so even if one does crash it simply restarts without affecting the main UI process.
