Try Sublime Text if you want lower RAM usage. My instance is currently sitting at ~120mb with 3 separate projects open (that does not include usage by Rust Analyzer which runs in a separate process (and tends to use GBs of RAM), but I suspect your numbers don't either)
replyKind of there with you... was pretty surprised how big the surface was with Zed, and it definitely doesn't do all the things I do in Code currently.
replyHow much of the RAM usage is by gopls (The Go LSP)?
replyLast time I used zed for go development it spawned nodejs servers (downloaded without asking for permission!) for god knows what.
replyI dont understand the zed hype, not only the UI has tons of issues, memory usage is not that different

replyLSPs, they are snagging the LSPs made by other developers for languages you are using. if you install any LSP or language support in VSCode its running the same thing. It only installs when you are using a language that has default support such as Rust, Python (which I believe uses a Node.js LSP), Go (same as Python), etc.
what about CPU usage? Overall I agree, it doesn't have enough plugins and is not well supported yet.
replyCurrently Zed uses more CPU than VSCode on my Windows and macOS laptops.
