The memory and start time complaints are a bit of a red herring. It's not like anybody is firing up a copy of VS.NET from scratch every time they want to edit a file.
In an IDE world, you fire up your environment once when you power on. For the next week or so until you reboot, opening a file is instant.
Granted, it uses memory in the background. But you have 32gb of it on your laptop. Keeping a couple of those in reserve to never have to edit code as though it were text seems like a fine trade off for those who choose to make it.
