I am using Chromium with devtools open and actually it works pretty good with 4GB or RAM.

As I already said - we are the experts. We need to be able to setup our development tools to work properly with every computer.

If the IDE needs too much resources, we have to press the IDE developers to make it less resource hungry. After all, we can create our own IDEs and stop using bloated software. There was powerful IDEs when the computers was 200MHz. The modern IDEs are not more powerful. They are simply slower.
