Itβs sad that you prioritize βvelocityβ over user experience.
Imo velocity and user experience aren't mutually exclusive, as a developer I can respond to user requests way faster with web technologies.
As a consumer vscode is a perfect example of why the ecosystem has value, are there other products that fill the same roles? Absolutely, but if you were around for the transition from bloodshed, codeblocks, eclipse and the like to sublime and vscode and other more modern editors you should remember how gamechanging the positive feedback loop of velocity achieved for the dev community in the form of user experience.
VSCode being essentially a text editor is a perfect example of software that should not use 1GB+ of RAM
A modern text editor with language servers running absolutely will take up 1GB+, I know I can easily get neovim to go past that with typescript projects.
Me, a casual: "wadderthefuckareyouguysarguingabout?"
I suspect most of the resource usage is LSP plugins, so equivalently configured neovim should be about the same, really. If you use VSCode as a plain text editor, it does not use that much RAM.
With 0 extensions it absolutely doesn't take 1GB and the more extensions you add it resembles more an IDE than a text editor, so the 1GB is completely justified. In fact, I have tons of extensions and mine takes around 300MB, I have like 5 instances open for work reasons (several remote connections) running on a VDI that gives me like 4 GB of RAM, and I can open excel, teams, and all the other company bullshit, alongside a browser with 20 tabs open. So no, it doesn't take 1GB per instance.
For most users software is not a religious question.
