I have 16GB of memory, and I use a java IDE. It uses more memory than the javascript toy editors do, but it does so much more.
If you just want a text editor, there are dozens of native ones for each platform that don’t require java or javascript and are fast.
It’s when you want stuff like advanced code intel, refactoring, etc that the likes of JetBrains products make the memory usage a good trade off.
Using a boat load of ram to render a text file slowly with no more features than textmate or kedit or what have you “because electron” is fucking stupid.
