Admittedly I was running 10ish not-so-microservices on a dev laptop so couldn't really spare the cycles or RAM. Now on a desktop machine with 32GB and more cores I probably wouldn't notice but just don't like the idea of it from my previous experience.
Don't think I run any other Electron apps. Used to run Slack and Spotify but now just pin browser tabs. Some devs run Gitkraken which baffles me.
