> Code requires a whopping 349 megabytes in order to open a 60 byte file. Atom comes in at 256 megabytes. Where Vim “only” needs 5 megabytes, which is still kind of high, but representative of an average configuration These numbers seem off. I just tested it and my VS Code uses 39MB of memory for loading a bunch of Python files and having a few plugins activated. Where are these numbers coming from? How was this test done? I switched from Vim to Sublime a while ago. For me Sublime feels much faster and user friendly. I'm now trying VS Code for Python, Go and Clojure. I know is not as fast as Sublime or Vim but it's really user friendly and I'm impress of how quickly the developers have been able to provide awesome functionality into their editor. That for me sounds like a fair tradeoff given that computers these days have several Gigabytes of memory.
