Who doesn't have 150MB to spare?
This laptop has 16GB, why are people hemming and hawing over 150MB???

Why not? If the hardware still works fine, unless we're doing something intrinsically more complex, i don't see a reason why it shouldn't work :S
More resources should mean that I can do things that were not possible before, or that I can do more things at the same time and not that I can do less because someone is to lazy to learn something new.
It used to matter a lot more, when those people were learning, so now it has to still matter!!!111oneoneeleven
Okay? Having a lot of memory does not mean a program should be wasteful, nor does it mean everyone has that.
And in any case, less RAM usage usually means less cache thrashing which in turn means acceptable performance.
This isn't 2008, we don't need to care about 150MB like we used to.
Most computers nowadays have 4/8GB, it's not that much memory compared to how much Electron uses.
how do people write shit like this and not realize how blatantly user-hostile they are??
Soon you have to micromanage your computer resources instead of purely focusing on work.
And yes, obviously if your computer is less powerful you can do less with it. Are you trying to argue that computers are classist because they don't work the same for poor people?
The 2nd point is simply that unless you're only targeting upper class and tech savvy users, 16 free Gb of RAM will not be your baseline.
