I often see people talking about the fact that they like a certain open-source application, but ‘it’s a shame it’s on Electron’; what does this mean? Is it a privacy thing or a resource thing?

Truth is though, if you made a app that looked as good and could resize itself just as good it would probably be more resource intensive.
If you just have a few input boxes though, its a waste to use electron.
