Every single app that I use, I try and make sure it is native. I shun electron apps at all cost. It's because people who put in effort to use the native APIs put in a lot more effort in the app in general based on my anecdotal evidence. It is also more performant and smaller in size, things that I cherish. It also pays homage to limits and striving to come up with new ways of overcoming them, which hackers would have to do in the past. I don't think not worrying about memory, CPU, etc are not healthy in the long run. Slack desktop app is almost 1 gig in size. That is crazy to me, no matter the "memory is cheap" mantra.
