So VS Code isn't just slow and bloated, it also deletes your files. So glad I was turned off by its excessive memory consumption and deleted it before it deleted my files.

Edit: also why I only ever used git from the command line, I never found a git UI that is easy to understand, and never trusted them.

VS Code slow and bloated? Someone hasn't been spending nearly enough time in IntelliJ

Two things can be right at the same time. I remember when I used to run VS6, IE and WinAmp in 128MB with KBs to spare. Even today, proper VS is a much better product than VSCode while being a full fledged IDE and not just a glorified text editor.

Vscode is an ide

If vs6 is so great, feel free to use it

It's also about productivity, Notepad uses less ram, but is not productive. This runs fine on any machine really

And the point of ram is to be used.. You can't check the ram usage and simply assume it's bloated, because most apps also cache too. RAM is meant to be used

It's really not slow or bloated. There's a reason it's so popular (even in Linux)

If it's running slow, maybe it's time to check your computer....

I literally had to use it to load 100 git projects simultaneously recently

You think VS Code is slow and bloated? What do you use?

Also, on several occasions I've had VS Code help me recover accidentally deleted files, because the editor keeps the file in memory, regardless of if it disappears on disk (like most editors).
