I have to treat each Electron program as having ~5-20x the system resource footprint of an equivalent native program—because they do. So they're going to get cut, or I'm going to pick a competitor to begin with, more often than a native app. That goes especially for anything I open often, or for anything it'd be convenient or necessary to leave running most or all of the time. Rarely-used programs, I mostly don't care, and Electron's fine.
