As someone who moved from jetbrains to sublime-text and then helix, I can safely say I'll never use a graphical IDE again. They're so damn resource heavy, a good text editor and a terminal window do great.
- lijok 3y agoWhy does a graphical IDE being resource heavy matter to you?
- friend_and_foe 3y agoBecause it's running on my machine, using my resources.
- lijok 3y agoYou’re talking about it as if it’s costing you money Do you take the same stance when your browser does the same? Have you disabled JS and embraced the digital amish lifestyle?
- friend_and_foe 3y agoIt does cost money. It costs in electricity, and in cost for hardware. Yes, I do turn off JS in my browser. I think a major problem in software development right now is the mindset you have. I want software that just does what it needs to and has as small of a footprint as it can to do that. I avoid topheavy software.
- drekipus 3y agoI hate graphical IDES because of how slow they are * look through menu items * click something * everything is frozen for 5 seconds, fan start whirring. Yeah I know. Junk my computer, get a new one, I'll pass.
