There are people who don't like using 200MB of RAM for a git client, plus 200MB per browser tab, plus the few gigabytes for their IDE, etc...

Because very quickly you reach a point where 10GB RAM are not enough — I know, I've had that very issue.

Replaced every electron app with a native or Java alternative, now I can actually work without swapping.
