Comment on Ask HN: Is there editors and IDE crisis?

Comments

Perhaps unsurprisingly, they all work pretty seemlessly on 1-2year old hardware, which I presume developers are using as well.

On an old laptop I had, with a low end dual core AMD processor, low-end SSD and 4 Gigs of RAM, vim with LSP plugin was the only editor I could use very well. [1]

On a new laptop, I don't have issues with intellij and vscode so far. I get more features than the old setup and that's nice.

[1] - Of course LSP itself may consume some memory and performance. clangd, gopls etc.. worked well for me though.
