For comparison, QtCreator with I'm using right now in one session for a few days, with a full-blown set of C++ tools integrated, consumes 319.1 MB RAM + 140.3 MB RAM for clangbackend. That's less than 500 MB for a complete solution with code analysis, debugger, profilers, form designer and even some QML stuff.

Slack, which is idling in the background in just one organization, consumes 22 MB more than QtCreator :P OTOH, there's also a full-blown IRC client Konversation, connected to 2 servers and 42 channels total, consuming 80.6 MB.
