I remember when Emacs was viewed as requiring a lot of resources (in the early 1990s) and I remember the sysadmin of our shared UNIX system scolding us if we had more than one emacs process running (as opposed to opening multiple files in different buffers).

The old joke was that EMACS stood for Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping. Of course, eight megs is nothing these days.
