104 MB at the moment. For me at least, Slack really got their shit together sometime last year and improved the issue significantly. I still remember having to restart Slack twice a day, but it ain't issue anymore.
Yeah, mine is 122MB at the moment as displayed in the OS X Activity monitor.
A lot of digital ink was spent on this issue. Basically it is due to the fact that the Slack app uses Electron, and thus it is not much more than a Chromium browser with several loaded webpages.
I get around this by using the web client daily (pinned tab in chrome) and open up the desktop app whenever I need to do specifically screen sharing (or just skype). It's not worth the resource headache.

Same. The web client has feature parity with the desktop client so I haven’t understood why people bother with the latter.

VS Code is an electron app

Continuing the anecdata collection, I'm in the over 1GB club. One instance of Slack, six of Slack Helper, several of which using 200GB of memory, but the biggest being 1GB. Timely thread, since when I sat down this morning and unlocked my computer, I was warned that I'd run out of memory and needed to quit some apps.
I really, really hope you mean "200MB", although I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they managed to use 200GB if accidentally started on a beefy server.
