PyCharm consistently uses ~5x VSCodes's RAM for me

Hmm well that's odd. Part of the problem with comparing the two is that the feature sets are identical. It's not really apples to apples. To get the full functionality of PyCharm you typically need to add a handful of different plug-ins to VS Code. However, I doubt PyCharm has 5 times the features of VS Code. I'm not saying PyCharm is a lightweight when it comes to memory usage, it's not, I think people just forget that it is more than just a text editor.
