- jcelerier 5y agoI mean, "better than a bloated java app" is not really a compliment is it ? Every time I try to use jetbrains IDE I am just unable to given how slow everything feels, my hands start shaking from the stress in merely a few minutes
- emteycz 5y agoWell and what editor can you use that isn't either a bloated Electron app, a bloated Java app, or a bloated C++ app? Comparison to its next best competitor is the only thing that makes sense IMHO.
- jcelerier 5y agoNo recent C++ IDE I know (Qt Creator, KDevelop mainly) has the kind of endemic UI slowness than the others have (recent VS in C#, Electron stuff, Java stuff).
- pjmlp 5y agoLoad VSCode with the same amount of plugins, and measure all of the out of process executables that make part of the experience and then you will see how much RAM is actually being consumed.
