Still, the numbers just don't lie... Consider Matrix clients. The resource hog is just obscene for any Electron option compared to a native or Tauri alternative.

Maybe it's just me and my aging machines that I run slim stacks on to get stuff done? And the answer is to increase power? What a sad, unsustainable answer to arrive at.
