VS Code is a heavyweight. It is almost a full IDE, handling hundreds of files, doing a lot of complex things, including laying out documents and networking, things that browsers are good at. I still prefer Sublime Text for performance reasons, but overall, the overhead of using a full browser is not ridiculous. But a password manager is supposed to be a small, unobtrusive app, something you forget unless you need a password. Not the big thing you are working with all day long.
