Most people still only have 16gb of ram (like me).

Electron is net good, but only for small teams that need to ship fast or solo devs etc who already know js and just want something to work.

Billion dollar companies using it instead of paying more for native apps is a horrible use case (that's mainly where my complaints live).

At the very least, I hope we move to something that can use webviews on our system rather than bundling their own which would save on resources (but opens the possibility for version mismatches i guess, I dunno if you can "peg" that sorta stuff to a working version.. but i guess thats just how browsers work so..).
