Electron apps created with React can definitely push the boundaries of what 'acceptable' memory usage is.

    Electron apps created with React can definitely push the boundaries of what ‘acceptable’ memory usage is.

    I have a pet theory that webview-based apps are popular only because currently there is absolutely no usable multiplatform desktop GUI framework. Therefore, developers have to resort to the one thing that works: load a webpage in a web browser.

    Even React Native feels like a kludge in a way it converts React components to UI components.
