Both VSCode and Atom are memory intensive as well.

That being said I've used PyCharm on a system with 2 GB memory before and that does work okay, you just need to make sure that no other memory-hungry apps run at the same time (browser, email, multimedia) and that the system itself doesn't use too much memory.

Well, for all of their benefits Electron apps in general have some hiccups on resource constrained systems.

Not sure what Electron has to do with pycharm, as with most (all?) other JetBrains software it runs on the jre.

Edit: realized you're probably talking about vscode, which is an electron app
