Has anyone attempted to calculate the overall environmental / energy consumption of Electron, vs if the most popular applications using it were rewritten in a more efficient native framework?

@azonenberg The first step would be to verify whether an application rewritten in a 'native framework' by, crucially, the same kind of developer, *would* actually be more efficient.
I think you're going to find some very interesting results there.
@azonenberg (What complaints about Electron usually overlook is that Electron doesn't actually use any meaningfully large amount of resources, and the resource use of Electron applications likely has much more to do with the background of the developers working on them than with the tech stack)
