Not sarcastic, animations add greatly to the understandability of what’s going on which is helpful anyway and especially if you fat finger something.

But yeah I don’t especially want to put loads of time in either heh

Nah I’m just old

Waiting for a tiling window manager with nice animations

And if you don’t have an initramfs?

It’s not “horseshit” - I gave you a caveat precisely so that you can understand the limitations of my comparison, and so that you don’t need to be so antagonistic.

lightweight

I launched VSCode fresh this morning. Just now, 4 hours later, I closed it and watched my system memory usage: 1.3GB. I am doing remote development, so there’s a whole server process as well which is chomping a few GB. My old laptop repeatedly ground to a halt until the OOM killer woke up/I rebooted as its measly 32GB of RAM couldn’t cope with two VSCode sessions (plus other normal apps) after a while.

It’s kind of an abomination when VsCode, supposed to be a lighter IDE, runs like dogshit compared to JetBrains, a fuckin’ Java based IDE. Since when was Java light on RAM?

(Caveat: I haven’t directly compared their memory usage, my experience is in very difference codebases for each)
