VScode shows that how good a big company can do to the world by honestly caring about its clients than focusing on its selfish needs.

Thank you vs code. I don't like atom for windows because it is slow

Oh, Hello there... How are you? You know I'm like Chrome too! I eat a lot of RAM when I am being used. My Father, ElectronJS gave birth to me, and my mother is Microsoft....

I also have a stepbrother called "Atom" and we do get along.

Do you like to eat RAM too?

I'm very sure the change in direction for Microsoft is at least partially because they need to improve their image.

@irene I'd like to throw in Elixir and Crystal as well, even though Vim clearly is better than both

@Clueless i have no clue what you are talking about. Had sublime and VScode open same project alongside . Sublime was taking 146.4mb ram and VScode took 143.8 mb of ram(vscode even had a pdf extension!) . Both are better than the Android studio, taking 2.8 gb of ram for the same project 😂

@Null-Device vim rules them all,😅 if one knows it well

@chaostools We have different plugins required to develop something.

As I experienced, I got 600+mb when I was developing a desktop application and when VSCode was in idle, its RAM usage increases.

I didn't said I hate VSCode, I have been using it for a year now. I'm just stating that this happens to all Desktop Application used by Electron.

Yeah i too think it all depends upon the use-case . For me its just an ide where i can edit my documentation and other non project files while the Android studio is busy building the project. And it works pretty well for this.
