IDE itself is good, "convenience" is benefit and not a sin - but performance and RAM usage needs to be better. And that is only done by throwing webstack into a dump
It's not actually that bad though. I do remember the days when VSCode would often be the problem app, but not for a couple of years now. Sometimes a plugin runs a process that causes an issue... but the same happens with neovim, its the curse of any editor with plugins.
