The bug in Slack is that it uses Electron
The overhead added by Electron is hardly that significant at this point, you can still use it to write significantly more efficient apps
The overhead of an entire browser engine isn’t significant compared to a native app?
Electron has been a blessing and a horrible thing at the same time.
It's always good to not slack when compiling.
Just to clarify for other readers, sword fighting while riding office chairs is not slacking.
