JavaScript frameworks/libraries are very rarely the problem, Electron just has to bundle Node, V8 and Chromium (granted, V8 is deduplicated).

Electron apps are hungry for RAM, but in practice it is close to having a heavy tab active. The thing about browsers is that they are pretty aggressive at offloading inactive tabs but Electron apps never do that.
