I agree with you, and that's one of the reasons I wanted to try switching away from VSCode. It has been pretty good, but sometimes it's quite slow and does who-knows-what in the background, and then I check my CPU and memory usage and yep, it's eating 32Gi of ram. For what? Editing text? Compiling unncessary stuff when I don't want to compile? Then I restart it, like the good old Windows 95 days, and it's all good again. Probably something with the LSPs, but who knows. The point is, it's a lot of magic in those plugins, and I don't like magic because at some point the extra cost of debugging the magic is not worth it. I'd rather have a system that properly surfaces the complexity even if that means it takes longer to learn.
