Am I the only one unhappy with the trend of moving toward web-wrapper applications? As a developer, I also love the idea of cross-platform, and of more elegant frameworks, but it pains me to run things that are slower or hog the battery.

* JavaScript-heavy Spotify now vs. Spotify a few years ago

* Atom vs. something like Sublime Text

* Or, Slack that takes the cake especially if you log in to multiple Slacks.

It's cool for developers. It's not cool for the users.
