    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.
