"Is anyone seriously running into issues with only 16GB of RAM?"

Yes, all the time. I wouldn't touch even a laptop with less than 32Gb these days, but YMMV with workload. JetBrain IDE's and Slack are a far cry from volumetric image processing or lots of data science loads.

Agreed. My new build (15 months old now) has 32GB ECC. Apps and VMs consume RAM like nobody's business. I'm glad that I built it before memory prices doubled.
