No sweat, I wouldn't poke my head up in threads like these without expecting at least a little friction in return. The first machine I ever used and wrote code on was a hand-me-down former "work laptop" that had been kitted out to run Lotus Notes and basically nothing else. Trying to get anything to run on that forced me to learn how computers work.

I definitely agree regarding the state of the industry as far as performance and care for the user goes across the board, even with the hotrod hardware we have access to now. Maybe it was inevitable with scale and time and I do lament that it's harder to economically justify cranking the most possible out of the hardware. With my original comment I mostly meant to convey a joking exasperation that these threads are rarely even about real profiling or real-world tradeoffs that make for interesting discussion anymore but just rote "Electron bad".
