Your mean your VSCode is using SIX GIGABYTES of memory? I don't know but I guess you might be doing something wrong ...

Anyway, while I'm also a fan of VIM and use it frequently besides VSCode, there's no way I'm going to do away with my VSCode just to save a few bytes of RAM - I think VSCode is well worth the memory it consumes ... and VIM is also great, they make a great pair.

Nope VSCode is not using 6gb. I have a total of 6gb and vscode uses a huge chunk of it. Throw in Chrome and you have problems

Another thing is I don't really use all the features of vscode, so I really thought vim would be nice
