Yes, Tauri isn't that much different than Electron. I also bundles Node JS to power Yaak's plugin system, which makes it even more similar.
I think Electron gets a bad rep mostly because big companies use it to build low quality apps.
Tauri doesn’t bundle Chromium and Node. My app bundle is 10MB and it even bundles a sidecar binary in Go. A hello world electron bundle is 100+ MB.
Ya the bundle size is different for sure. The memory usage isn't far off though, since it's still a web app.
