Notable is most definitely not an Evernote clone, which is what I'm coming from as well. But instead, I can choose not to use bloated applications and keep my workflow convenient, and my perfectly good computer still in use. If someone was to force me to use an Electron app for chat and music, I'd proably have to either a) keep closing and opening browsers, b) launch the product I'm developing on a different machine (less convenient), c) upgrade my computer. There's only so much of it left before they just can't have everything they want working at the same time.įor instance, right now when I launch (and use for a while) Firefox and Chrome, Emacs, and a local instance of a product I'm working on, I'm nearly maxing out my machine's RAM. Given the increase of bloat in software all across the board, most users are operating near the top of their RAM capacity, not the bottom. Which is what most users want and expect from their computers, and which is a fundamental feature of contemporary computers. It makes a difference when you want to use more programs at the same time. > Regarding the RAM as long as there's enough available I think it makes no difference performance-wise if I have 5gb or 2gb free. Personally, I'm of a belief that the extra work necessary to do it with less resources is worthwhile and needs to be encouraged, which is why I a) actively avoid Electron apps, and b) speak up about it. ![]() I can understand you preferring to make life easier for yourself as a developer, leveraging your existing code and getting cross-platform support for free. And I realize that Electron performance story seems to be improving, bit by bit.
