Exactly.

I refuse to use Electron apps - they clearly work in JS so the web version will work fine, and I get to keep the sandbox protections, content blocking etc of Safari.

And I use IDEA Ultimate almost daily. Yes, it uses a ton of RAM - but it uses a ton of RAM and is powerful.

I've not yet seen another IDE with the same capabilities (i.e. built in static analysis of dynamic languages like PHP, with refactoring support, etc).

I have oodles of memory (64GB) so I could of course run Slack and not "run out". But the key thing here is that Slack doesn't just use memory, it wastes it.

IDEA uses memory to make me more productive
