@sirber That's because of Electron, right? Vscode runs in Electron? Or am I misremembering that?

@thelinuxcast @sirber Aye, it is.

@qlp @thelinuxcast they also run laguage servers, which makes it heavier too.

@sirber @thelinuxcast Not to mention, any additional extensions, themes or other customization layered on top would have it even heavier.

As heavy as it is in RAM and CPU, it fits my workflow the best. There are times where I will jump between VS Code and PyCharm, but I prefer the former.
