Visual Studio Code is a developer tool, so there’s no reason to complain about that.

I run multiple Electron apps at a time even on low spec machines and it’s fine. The amount of hypothetical complaining going on about this topic is getting silly.

You know these apps don’t literally need to have everything resident in RAM all the time, right?

"Multiple" isn't too impressive when you compare that a blank windows install has more than a hundred processes going. Why accept bloat in some when it would break the computer if it was in all of them?

Even then, I don't see why developers should be forced to have better computers just to run things like editors. The point of a beefy computer is to do things like compile.

But most of what I'm stuck with Electron-wise is not developer tools.

I am complaining about REAL problems that happen to me often.

Don't worry, I'm looking specifically at the working set that does need to stay resident for them to be responsive.
