Hey there, After a few years of making this account, I think it's time I start properly using it.
So, I am Hannan, a software developer, interested in web, javascript and more
According to Mozilla the most common number of RAM in the world is 4 GB and that is apparent in my country Pakistan. Most of the new laptops even come with 4 GB ram and people seldom upgrade. I was also using 4 GB ram till march when it no longer was able to carry all the web development tools in a smooth way and extended it with 12 GB. But since I have it now, doesn't mean this is getting standardized as there's just a very small proportion of programmers and gamers who will go to this extent.
Most of the people still use 4 GB in the world and RAM is a very expensive type of memory.
Also, Electron is a lot of Bloatware, on 4 GB ram it never works. Maybe you don't have to think about users all over the world but some people have to and for them performance and optimizations matter. Consider Slack, even though they have a pretty cool electron app, I don't have it installed, as it has a lot of overhead I did not need in any case and was unnecessarily playing a role in slowing down my computer. Their web app does all the things and is optimized, much smaller in size, it even has push notifications, so there's no need for me to install slack app.
