It does but in exchange devs can make cross-platform applications. I don’t mind using Electron apps unless they’re horribly optimized like Teams used to be some years ago.
It is, which is why I avoid it. The amount of power VSCode consumes vs others is significant. Jetbrains products even have a low power mode which turns off indexing. Can run that thing all day long without plugging in.
I also use Ripcord for slack instead of that electron client.
I always avoid electron apps so I don’t have to have a separate flow when I am on battery vs plugged in.
Multiple Chromium browsers that probably send telemetry to Google, no less.
I’d be slightly less hateful of Electron if it used a non-Google engine, but alas Chrome is the new 90’s Internet Explorer and everyone needs to bend over backwards to it.

Isn’t vscode written in electron?
Electron is fine if it’s optimised which generally doesn’t happen.

#electron does consume quite a bit more ram than it should.
Either way, I don’t really have much of a problem with it.

Teams is still horribly optimized and barely works though. I love having to restart my computer in order to be able to sign in.
Protip: It’s much faster and more stable when just opened as a webpage in Firefox
I wish. Teams literally says Firefox is not supported and doesn’t allow me to make calls, even though I’m able to join meetings. Teams is a joke.
I also used to have that message but it seems like they’ve got that back in order.
I remember that back then you could download an extension to pretend your user agent was Chrome and Teams would work flawlessly.

Funny same thing on jerboa
I think it’s a Lemmy thing, I’m also seeing this on Memmy
Same thing on Liftoff.
Yes! Yes! Fricking yes!
Yess exactly. Don’t wanna have multiple browsers each eating 4GB ram
