JetBrains IDEs are just as bad, if not worse, because they force the user to cope with slow interactions, unless you are on a Mac, apparently.

Did you just compare a full-blown IDE to a single window with nothing but a list of text and images?

Edit: and yes, Slack consumes 17% of CPU power to display animated reactions on an M1 processor.

The difference is that people enjoy using Slack out of the box. JetBrains' products are intolerably laggy out of the box on unless one is using top-end hardware.
