This is why I continued to use sublime text all the way up to capitulating to TypeScript. Code was slower because of all the intellisense. I've had Code freeze on me a few times. Something that I don't have happen in Sublime or Vim. If you have a lot of RAM and work on a current mainstream OS it may seem smooth, but it's still using 400mb of RAM. May as well use Eclipse or WebStorm FWIW. That said I'm using VSCode now too, but things can always be better :).
- galaxyLogic 4y agoPart of it may be just Windows. I use Windows a lot to move files and folders around and the File Explorer is something I constantly need to wait on to respond. The Windows as GUI is not very responsive in my experience.
- manigandham 4y ago> "but it's still using 400mb of RAM" Why does this matter? What is the point of saving RAM instead of using it?
- Karunamon 4y agoIt matters because your program is probably not the only one running.
- manigandham 4y agoIt’s a small amount and if you’re using it then it should take priority. Modern operating systems with SSDs are very good at managing memory anyway.

- Gigachad 4y agoBecause all my ram is already consumed. I have a 16gb MacBook running only a browser, vscode, ms teams, and the docker containers for the app and I have no memory left so I see a spinning ball every time I change windows. Ms teams was the final straw. Slack was about 300mb but teams is now 700mb+
- mckravchyk 4y agoOnce you exceed it some of the content will go to swap, which is going to slow down the system (and wear an ssd faster). 400MB is not that much though, for me Code usually takes at least 1.5GB RAM.
