Sorry, that argument just does not hold water. On my Mac currently, MS Outlook is using 483 MB versus Slack using 704 MB, with just one tab open. For all of Outlook's bloat, one can hardly say it does less than Slack; it's just a glorified chat app for pity's sake.
Even IntelliJ is using only 2x as much RAM as Slack with 4 medium sized projects open and IntelliJ is orders of magnitude more complex than Slack.
