- cweagans 6y agoExcept that’s not all it does. Surely you don’t reduce a web browser down to “an interface that shows bold text” or a television to “a box in my house that shows me Ben Stiller”. So let’s call it what it is: an IDE. Compared to other IDEs, vscode is the smallest. IntelliJ is 750mb. Xcode is several GB now. Visual Studio can be like 100GB with all the options included. Sure, if you’re comparing vscode with a minimal vim install, it’s huge, but not everyone can use a minimal vim install to get things done effectively.
