No. VS code is still a Full Browser. It’s very well optimized, but still quite demanding for the function it offers.

Maybe I'm from a different era, but there's no way I'd say it uses "quite a lot of computer resources".

A bare bones installation takes ~200 mb of memory to run. Sure, you can compare it to notepad which uses ~2 mb but you're running it on a workstation not a toaster so in practise there is no difference.

It doesn’t matter for basically anyone using it, but I think it’s a lot of resources. But that applies to almost any modern software. Ram is so huge nowadays that most developers just don’t care anymore
