It's a tradeoff. Because they are written using web technologies it means that they are very extensible. If you are a professional then just buy more RAM.

- chespinoza 5y ago>If you are a professional then just buy more RAM. That cockiness sounds familiar, and it was the reason why people moved from Java based IDE's to vscode/atom/sublime.
- abainbridge 5y agoIt could be very extensible without being written in web technologies. For example, an IDE I worked on was written in C++ with Qt and had an embedded Python interpreter to allow extensions to be written easily. It also provided a .dll/.so extension mechanism for stuff that wanted more performance than Python could give. It used 10-20 megs of RAM and loaded in about 2 seconds on the computers of the era (about 10-15 years ago). It wasn't very good, but that's beside the point :-) It wasn't bad because of the technology stack it was built from.
- arghwhat 5y agoNo, as a professional you just pick better software. Sufficient extensibility does not require software to be terrible.
