Am I the only one that is disappointed that they no longer have a native Linux app? (The original Skype used QT)

What was the advantage of using QT instead of Electron? Isn't Electron optimised for the platform it runs in?

Mainly, it didn't need a crapload of RAM.

1. Electron is a massive resource hog.

2. Qt actually blends in with the platform's look and feel.
