Yeah, I don't get all the hate for Electron. I use VS Code and have never had a concern with it for RAM or CPU usage. Webpack and Elm compilation are far bigger CPU hogs. We've even considered using it for internal desktop apps, because web stuff is our wheelhouse and frankly I'm not impressed with desktop UI frameworks I've used. If it is significantly faster for us to dev, then RAM usage is a small price to pay. The part of Electron I expect to be difficult is integrations with other software, like QuickBooks. I don't actually want to write javascript code for that.
