I'd like to love Nylas, but it's (still) really slow on my 2015 rMBP.

@nscmnto Electron should not go to production

@nscmnto Yeah, I tried it not too long ago and it was unbearably slow. Not starter for me.

@nscmnto I'm not sure what is the problem, for me it's very fast. It's way faster than Inbox.

@eonpilot @_yannbertrand @nscmnto Electron is good for prototyping or creating a MVP, but not the right technology for scaling applications - even though it's widely used.

@garrido OK, you can build apps at scale, but at the expense of your users. If you're involved on several Slack teams, Slack - an app that is essentially a pretty interface for IRC - can easily take up more than 1GB of RAM and 5% CPU in idle mode. It's a performance monster. In brief, if you care about your users and their UX, you can but shouldn't use Elect… See more

@eonpilot @_yannbertrand @nscmnto Nope, it's not fast. By almost all performance metrics and reviews, Atom is one of the slowest editors out there. Yet, I still use it every day and enjoy it. But don't call it "fast".
