I work in an enterprise Java shop :) I'm not going to claim Eclipse is lightweight. (I'm not forced into Eclipse, I like it.) But an editor within an startup memory footprint close to our enterprise software's startup memory footprint is not something I would call lightweight either. VS Code does start up much faster than our enterprise software, or Eclipse for that matter.
