> I sympathise, truly, but obviously this text editor is doing something more than just displaying text that necessitates the ram consumption.

All I do is edit text. My editor isn't an IDE. It doesn't run tests, etc. It is just an editor. I have no idea why it does what it does but it does it.

And I get what you are saying about nvim / neovide but it feels reasonable to me that __45__ years into the WIMP interface (assuming 1977 as a point when Xerox Parc had things running well) that we should be able to:

* Have a nice UI * That edits text without crashing

I completely agree on tools you are forced to use. Truth.
