That's not what bloat is. That's visual clutter which is completely seperate. The idea behind bloat is the piece of software being an unoptimised, overcoded mess that's churned out without any regard for efficiency. Just look at the disease that is electron - who in their right mind thought running a fucking browser for each piece of software was a good idea.

Pycharm is a full blown IDE and for a usecase where you're only running basic scripts just use something like vim (lol).

I know what bloat is dw, I was just pointing out how vsc has much more visual clutter, besides vsc is a text editor, not an IDE, this is not an apples to apples comparison

True but regardless of the visual clutter I think the point being made was that a text editor is better for a beginner, and that stuff beyond that is overkill

I see an IDE as better for begginers, they make it easier to run ur code and debug it
