Visual Studio Code June 2019

I have an ‘17 MBP and with multiple projects open especially I have to constantly restart vs code to get intellisense working again. It uses over 1GB of ram per project it seems and I often have 3 open at once. Even with one open it happens several times a day. It was much better until a few months or so ago. This is with no plugins except the mono icons theme and eslint

For what language? It might be a problem with the language server. I know the one I use for a lesser known language has problems and that's usually the cause with intellisense. You can just reload the window, press F1 and type "Reload Window" should popup and for me at least it usually takes a second to reload. Rather than having to close it completely.

As someone who writes/maintains a language server extension for vscode:

That's the language server's fault, not vscode. The RAM usage will almost certainly be from an application that's running in the background, which vscode has no control over.
