It won't be "happening" until Slack, Teams, and Discord leave Electron behind. They are the apps that need to be open 24/7.

  Teams works similarly in browser tab and "natively". Slack was similar if I remember correctly.

    I only ever use Discord in a browser window.

    You should check the memory use of that browser tab. You’re not saving much either way running in a browser or in Electron, which is effectively a browser.

  It's not entirely clear what the connection is. We're not doing Electron because some popular software also using it. We're doing Electron because the ability to create truly cross-platform interfaces with the web stack is more important to us than 300 MB of user memory.

    > web stack is more important to us than 300 MB of user memory. May I never have to use or work on your project's software.
