— It is an example of good design in bad package
I use it personally, but I have an SSD and great CPU, lots of memory, and don't notice the issues most of the time due to speed
— I think electron tends to amplify problems in web apps somehow
— It is like the JRE of JavaScript, big with lots of api methods, but as it gets bigger it falls harder
— We were not
— What makes you think I was talking about you :D
— Lmao, it was so intense. But even Dani had more arguments than the article against Chromium Apps 😂
— I had a feeling about a well written Chromium App, and I found this very satisfying evidence.
— A percentaje of 0.0% is used when idle on Visual Studio Code
— And is not a native app
— The fact of the matter is Chromium/Chrome is a tight ship and keeps getting tighter, and it is highly suspect to me to immediately blame it outright instead of the code running on it. My best guess for what was happening to the poor dude was buggy code made by Slack etc... more specifically an infinite loop, something known to eat RAM and CPU at the same time and be semi-hidden depending on how much abuse your machine can take
— Another very probable cause is bad GC management
