They often are worse, because everything needed to be an electron app, so they could hire the cheaper web developers for it, and also can boast about "instant cross platform support" even if they don't release Linux versions.

Qt and GTK could do cross platform support, but not data collection, for big data purposes.

I don't know why electron has to use so much memory up though. It seems to use however much RAM is currently available when it boots, the more RAM system has the more electron seems to think it needs.

Chromium is basically Tyrone Biggums asking if y'all got any more of that RAM, so bundling that into Electron is gonna lead to the same behavior.
