Meh, tried it a while ago. VSCode is better, but still a bloated piece of software. Glorified text editors that use megabytes of memory when running...


Megabytes, really? “640K ought to be enough for anybody!”


You never have used any of those java based IDE, have you?. A clean install of Eclipse takes about 400 mb before even creating a project. Android Studio is a nightmare of epic proportions. VSCode provides the same level of autocomplete and features at a fraction of memory without lagging at every keystroke.
