Announcing .NET Core 2.0

I have VS Code with a dozen plugins running, and using about 1GB two editor windows, each with a few tabs open, as well as the terminal (best point of integration imho) in each.

Spotify seems to be using a bit under 200MB.

For comparison, libre-office with a 60-row spreadsheet open is using 145MB.

Frankly, it's not that bad... I've got 16GB on my laptop (thanks apple), and 32gb on my home desktop, though may go threadripper at the end of the year with 64-128gb. It's there to be used.

VS Code is much more responsive than Visual Studio... and the plugins and integration are great. Integrated terminal, and the git integration are nice, though I wish they'd get closer to full 3-way merge support.

Spotify uses Chromium Embedded Framework, not Electron - doesn't change your argument, but it's good to know.

Many of us still have 8GB systems or even plain 4GB.

Well, Code and the browser are my main two applications... the rest take up very little by comparison. But, you're right, I wouldn't want to rely on a dozen electron based apps being loaded. That doesn't mean it isn't a good option for a lot of things.
