Well, on my Macbook I still have Slack (Since work colleges still use it) and I use Discord, Trello, Keybase, VS Code, Dropbox for Mac, Ledger Live, Skype, InVision Studio, Framer and Nylas Mail.

I just migrated off of and removed Atom, GitKraken and Github Desktop to only use VS Code but I don't think I am able to open Chrome or Firefox without it swapping out to my SSD. I have to kill two or three other apps to recover my RAM usage just to stop the constant freezing when using either browser. After sometime browsing the internet, I see a list of swap-files everywhere and eventually I run out of space.

So when I see another Electron app to use instead of Slack, I usually avoid it and I try to find another usable alternative if I can.
