Can Gjs handle complex applications (eg. multimedia editors like photo
and video editors, medium games, complex data analysis) without eating
up all the CPU and memory? If it can, then go for it!

Yes, they are all people, but they are also PEOPLE. I admit,
GNOME/JavaScript platform will only attract imperfect PEOPLE who still
have their inner hacker (in a good way) not completely beaten out of
them, as it's literally impossible for perfect PEOPLE to program in any
other platform other than a good safe platform that's prescribed, that
is, HTML5 on Windows 8+.
