That's the whole point of Electron period. Cut development costs. Meanwhile end-users (including developers) will suffer, because along with their chrome instances using hundreds of MB in ram, they will have electron apps open using similar (and in many cases more) amounts.
- HalfwayToDice 9y agoI don't care too much about RAM, I do care about the carnage it wrecks on my battery life.
- geodel 9y agoMaybe few extra battery packs will take care of battery issue too?
- electroner 9y agoI like the way you think
- jackyinger 9y agoOn top of this I found atom to be pretty unstable, especially when using a bunch of plugins. Text editors are a primary tool and instability is unacceptable. I can't remember any time vim crashed on me.
- brogrammernot 9y agoI agree with you but comparing VIM to Atom or IntelliJ or Visual Studio is an orange to apple comparison.
- clhodapp 9y agoComparing Atom to one of the native-window ports of Vim or Emacs seems pretty fair to me.
- amcca029 9y agoI have yet to suffer due to chrome using too much memory.
