> Electron = slow and big install

This isn't the 1990s. My username alone should show I went through a period where the size of the binary and the memory size mattered.

These days with have gigabyte/terabyte hard drives and gigabytes of RAM. It generally sits unused and the O/S will handle reallocating if you really put the pressure on.

I'm not too concerned about VS Code hitting my RAM cap. Right now, with the entire front-end of a large enterprise application loaded, it's using 350 MB of RAM.

Meaningless in the grand scheme of things. And it's fast, on a 3 year old laptop.
