> Electron is panned by many these days for requiring an expensive network system for a local process. Why doesn’t X11 get the same scorn? Have we forgotten the days when a Mac could run a GUI in 128K while a Unix system struggled to run x11 (with no clients) in 4MB? X is heavy.

If you actually properly understood both the argument you're making and the reason why most people dislike Electron and friends, then you'd not be making that argument. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're joking.
