If you're using any Jetbrains IDE and want to also run your app/nodejs/etc. you mac will start freezing and and input lagging. Of course it's a pretty bloated Java app that could be optimized a bit more but I can't really blame them, RAM is so cheap nowadays that there is no reason why you'd have less than 16GB or even 32...

Also having any mildly memory intense app + Chrome (with > 10-20 tabs opened) is a no go etc.

I used Webstorm and IntelliJ over the years, and the statement that their IDEs are super slow was true every day in the past 12 years and on every machine I had ever used them :D
