It kinda do though. VSCode, without a project open has 10 processes running and uses over a half gig of ram. I like VSCode to be clear. I also like discord but it’s just a chat app and apparently needs a half gig itself and 6 processes.

You should come over to vim. It only takes 12 months of intense training and an additional 3 years of super glueing random rc file configs together before it works how you want it to

Yeah, but once it’s all setup, you get to see all your coworkers roll their eyes when they see you use vim at every job from that point on

So, all worth it in the end 👌

Also, I’ve saved at least $5 over the last decade from wear and tear on mice

And that’s just to figure out how to save and exit.

I use IdeaVim in JetBrains IDEs, does that make me some kind of monster?

I hope they’ll find a way to run all those applications in one browser. Like basically having a browser with multiple tabs but getting treated like seperate sandboxxed apps.

Browser already do this. At least on Linux all browsers use namespaces(containers) for tabs

Yeah, if all these apps are gonna use a common framework we might as well let the operating system handle it.
