Is this scientific? No. But these are real world apps, doing real world things. If idle states are comparable, I have faith that more intense tasks will continue to be pretty much even, thanks to v8.

Hahaha, so you know people complaining about Electron memory usage? Turns out all those GTK+ apps have pretty similar memory footprints. Lol, ok yeah I'm going Electron all the way. Exhibit A: vmd (800MB), workrave (600MB). Both idle apps, showing some idle state.pic.twitter.com/f2omFXT2dk

I *guess* the only benefits to GTK are that processes can be more nicely managed, and disk size is probably significantly lower for small-ish apps. But I don't think either of those outweighs cross-platform compilation. Swoosh, native apps for all platforms! :D

did you also try https://github.com/brave/muon or have an opinion on it?

I haven't tried it, looks cool for sure!

They have that much VIRTual memory allocated but they have much less actively used, or RESident! If these programs link big libraries, they will "map" those libraries in entirely (affecting VIRT) but only things that get used will be read from disk & put in memory.
-
The situation is even better than that (41MB for Workrave) because some of that memory is SHR, which means some of that memory might also be being used by other programs too, if they are using any of the same libraries!

Well first you're looking at VIRT mem which isn't what you want to look at here, RES - SHARE / shared_procs is more accurate and GTK is sort of a bloated monster with glib and friends, look at EFL memory usage.

I don't remember Java desktop apps getting the hate electron apps gets, netbeans,aptana etc consume a lot of RAM
