Agreed. I always shudder when colleagues recommend it. Last I checked it took up an enormous amount of resources for an editor.

My VSCode takes considerably less RAM than Webstorm on the same project - and yet IMHO VSCode does it better.

I mean, "better than a bloated java app" is not really a compliment is it ? Every time I try to use jetbrains IDE I am just unable to given how slow everything feels, my hands start shaking from the stress in merely a few minutes

Well and what editor can you use that isn't either a bloated Electron app, a bloated Java app, or a bloated C++ app?

Comparison to its next best competitor is the only thing that makes sense IMHO.

No recent C++ IDE I know (Qt Creator, KDevelop mainly) has the kind of endemic UI slowness than the others have (recent VS in C#, Electron stuff, Java stuff).

Load VSCode with the same amount of plugins, and measure all of the out of process executables that make part of the experience and then you will see how much RAM is actually being consumed.

I have like 30 extensions to give it the same level of functionality (or more precisely, the subsection I use), and it takes less than Webstorm.

Counting the external processes RAM usage?

Just measuring code.exe isn't enough.
