Users don't care how easy it is for you to maintain your code. If 
the user experience sucks, they'll never come back.

When code readability, size, and maintenance gains all coincide 
with performance, it's a rare thing indeed, but in most cases 
developers have to make a tradeoff. I agree with TheGag96 that 
Discord is probably the only application with a feature set that 
justifies the tradeoffs.

Mailboxes, taskers, and text editors consuming 150 Mb of RAM, 
multiple processes, spare CPU cycles, and battery life rendering 
a blinking cursor is an instant uninstall. The user DOES NOT CARE 
how easy it is for you to maintain your codebase.
