- isakkeyten 8y agoPractice has shown that it's easier to add things than to remove them.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoAlso not being Electron apps they're probably more lightweight anyway despite the extra features.

I end up regularly toggling Power Save mode on and off to reduce how much my CPU gets blown up. That mode turns off code suggestion, auto-imports, and error detection among other pretty core things.
