Close your web browser or install "auto tab discard" plugin.

I should clarify. It happens in Intellij, not in the browser.
I can have Intellij, Firefix, and Chrome all open while typing in emacs and no typing pauses at all.
On the other hand, I can run Intellij alone with no other applications open, and still get pauses while typing.
It's an issue with Intellij itself, not a matter of system resources.
That said, at least for Java, I find the benefits outweigh the costs. But I don't find that to be true for any other language I use.
Even if not, there's no reason not to allow someone to edit text however they like, and then just load their changes into Intellij or whatever to double-check formatting and use its static analysis tools before raising a pull request.

I use Intellij at work for Java stuff, and I could easily see why someone would want to use something less resource intensive (especially for less IDE-dependent languages than Java). I regularly run into issue where I get pauses while I type.
