Moore's law is not an excuse to design crappy software. Not everyone who criticizes Electron's resource usage is a Unix fetishist that thinks all programs should be small C utilities. It's important to balance performance and productivity, but Electron completely blows this ratio out of proportion. It wouldn't need so much testing and debugging if its design wasn't so convoluted to begin with.

Web technology is for the web. Leave it there.
