Memory usage is like gear score, something people use to measure their e-peen.

A lot of minimalistic UIs think that minimalism = lightweightness from a resource point of view, which is so far off from the truth I wanna bang my head against a wall.
Minimalism
is NOT about memory usage, or CPU usage. Minimalism is a
design principle. It has
nothing to do with memory or CPU. You can have a minimalist UI that uses 100MB, or a non-minimalist one that uses 10.

This. As if that somehow justifies poor functionality.
