VSCode is super light on resources on linux, I have two running right now and they don’t break the top ten on btop (often). It can be done right, rarely is, but it can be. Generally electron is badly used, probably a skill issue, seeing as the skill is locked behind useless documentation, proprietary BS and whatever, but the ppl who made it actually make it work, might be black magic or chicken sacrifice…
Someone’s actually gonna take this seriously, and they’re right.

There’s Stretchly, a break reminder tool, so has to be always running. Made with Electron, but surprisingly takes like 20 MB of memory.
There’s something to be said for its scripting accessibility, too. Hence the many fabulous VSCode extensions.
