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