I use VSC on an old 2012 Mac Mini, and I cannot confirm that it consumes 
lots of CPU or memory, even with about two dozen extension installed. It is 
fast and responsive (some say it is notably faster than Atom, the other 
Electron-based code editor) and has become my favorite editor for code and 
Markdown (and I have been a diehard Vim user for years, if not decades!). 
Too many open windows may become a problem, but so may too many open tabs 
in Chrome or Firefox. VSC saves the state of a workspace though, so I can 
always happily close a window completely and re-open it later, and VSC 
restores the workspace. 
And VSC has a great Go plugin.

Just give it a try, it is easy to install and easy to remove :)
