Great, wow, that's interesting. I mean as a user everything seems fine to me. Things are getting better, not worse.

On that department, I was able to store two 3000x3000 double precision dense matrices and some big double precision vectors, plus the 3D model representing the object I'm working on in ~250MB IIRC. The code is a scientific materials simulator, BTW. Eclipse (the IDE) uses ~1GB (after warming up) with my fat C++ config, and that thing is written in Java, and is a full blown IDE with an always on indexer + static analyzer. VSCode uses 1GB for nothing. Atom used 1GB for nothing. Evernote uses ~900MB on start on macOS. That thing takes notes! We have the resources and wizardry to keep bad programming in check, but we can do much better if we wanted to.
