Right. It's incredible that something like Linux is free. For a more recent example, look at Vs code. An even more recent example, look at how many open weight llms there are out there.
- tilne 1y agoYeah vs code was one of the first examples I thought of as well. It has its own set of issues for sure, but even as a former vim fanatic it’s amazing from both a default experience perspective and that of a power user.
- bigstrat2003 1y agoI definitely would not call VS Code good software, at least not overall. It's good in that it's not buggy, but it uses an absurdly high amount of system resources without any actual benefit. It is not ok that just to open a handful of small text files, it uses 1-2 GB of memory.
- jxjnskkzxxhx 1y agoMemory used is not the only metric by which to evaluate software. My machine has enough ram that this doesn't matter to me, and Vs code allows to be very productive compared eg to vim.
- jesse__ 1y ago> For a more recent example, look at Vs code HA! Comparing VSCode to Linux is like comparing an overweight, acne-ridden drug addict that lives in his mom's basement to an astronaut with 3 PhDs. They're barely even the same species.
