> This is to say nothing of the fact that VSCode is the most popular editor on the planet and that the very notion of allocating several gigs of ram to embed a web renderer ( one that is constantly having to be patched for the annual round of UAF vulnerabilities ) in order to DRAW TEXT is the very height of inefficient idiocy.

If you just want to draw text, you can simply use Notepad or Notepad++. VSCode has a lot more functionality, though.
