I run slack every day. It’s a bit slow sometimes but it doesn’t cause any real issues. Still better than teams. I’d rather have it as an electron app than as a web app.
VS Code is electron but it’s not meant to be a lightweight text editor like notepad. Must people are using it as an IDE at this point. Can you explain what’s “bloated” about it?
These apps probably wouldn’t exist at all if it wasn’t for electron so I’m grateful for it. The purists can pound sand like always.
on the vscode comment, that’s just plain wrong. here’s vscode opening up on a base model m1 air (it’s a test project but my works codebase also opens just as fast)
on a 8gb ram m1 air, with 3/4 chrome windows, slack, postman and two node processes running. as for slack, i agree its not as snappy as say, native macos apps but it doesn’t really bother me a lot.

I use both daily, never noticed a problem. MacBook Pro M1 with 8GB ram. Eight!
