100 MB / app is significant, especially on laptops.

Slack used to use so much memory on Linux that I couldn't afford to run the desktop app and ran it inside a Firefox tab for years... seems to have gotten better somehow.




I doubt there would be many GUI apps that eat less than 100 MB — if only that would be the maximum.


Of course, but saving 100 MB in 5 apps would probably let you leave a few extra tabs open...or run emacs.
