Well I've been working all morning since I made that comment;
I have about
100 tabs open for editing in VS now (I don't clean up open
tabs often >_<),
and it's sitting at 120mb.
VisualStudio at ~100mb is pretty bloody good comparatively!
Dunno why you're seeing 200mb? (still less than my gmail
tab...)
Perhaps you use Visual Assist or some other bulky plugins? I
only have
Visual-D installed.
That's quite surprising, Visual Studio for me is always in the
~300MB or so range, often more. Right now using MonoDevelop on
Linux with Mono-D is using ~500MB. That being said, I'm
perfectly okay with IDEs using lots of memory. RAM is cheap, if
the IDE can make itself even slightly better by using an extra
2GB when I have spare, I'd be happy to let it. I have 16GB in
my laptop and 12GB in my desktop and nothing ever comes even
remotely close to causing me to run out of memory. Things using
CPU usage in the background however is quite frustrating.
Somehow my most CPU intensive process on this laptop is my
touchpad driver (touchegg), which likely kills battery life.
Eclipse is made for you :D
I tend to agree with you, considereing the benefit is high enough
(it is in java or C# for instance). For D I disagree, as the
benefit is not as high, and the frontend can consume quite a lot
of memory, so having some extra memory around is a big deal
(especially if you also run a browser somewhere, that will use
several Gb of memory).
