I also noticed you use Angular. Angular development mode -- at least for our application -- seems to be quite heavy on memory leaks, to a point even 8GB ran can not suffice. At 4GB ram you'd certainly be close to 100% the time on swap.

Our apps rely heavily on maps, which are heavily stateful, even tough I try to umnount them properly, with subsequent live reloads a tab can slowly climb its memory usage to the 4GBs.

Not to even mention any webpack system is quite memory hungry, the TS language service and other goodies you've already mentioned also become quite hungry on big projects. (the TS team itself has created the subprojects feature for problems like that). Some of the goodies (like the TS service) will be there on any editor you go.
