Ask HN: Native alternatives to common Electron apps?

I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the amount of memory used by Electron apps when developing on Windows. It seems like all my development tools require it, which becomes unsustainable fast. I'm looking for good alternatives to apps for common tasks!

Currently I use: - VS Code (text editor) - GitKraken (Git frontend) - Postman (API testing) - Hyper (terminal emulator for Windows Subsystem for Linux)

Hyper alone takes nearly a gigabyte of RAM. Interested to hear HN's alternatives.
