Why is ElectronJS so voracious?

Question

Software and Internet Services

Hello.
There is a task to make a desktop application for watching movies and listening to music.
They advised ElectronJS
But when I launched applications on ElectronJS from their official. site on a computer (intel-i3), I saw that the CPU load was at the level of 35-40%
Is this the standard for ElectronJS?

Answer 1

Is this the standard for ElectronJS?

Yes. The programs on it are the most gluttonous, the huge gluttonous Chrome is first launched, and the gluttonous JS is already tossing and turning in it.

Answer 2

The biggest problem of the electron is that most of those who write in JS cannot write on it ...
Yes, the electron has a small overhead, in the form of about 15M operatives for chromium and the node together, the percentage itself eats everything except for start.
Everything else for which the electron is hated - the crooked hands of the programmers who write on it ...
PS
- if you need a cross-platform desktop application with UI and you are good at JS + HTML + CSS - electron.js is really the best option
- if you need a desktop application for a specific OS and you only ownJS+HTML+CSS - electron.js is a good option, but it's still better to write on native GUIs (e.g. UWP on Windows or GTK+ on Linux)
