I'm seeing this a lot and still surprised to experience the complete opposite.
Just a follow up question are you on Windows or Mac?

As I think it has a lot to do with that (from reading the comments here)
I'm on Mac and for me WS is way faster/lower on resources

I'm on MAC:
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4 GB

Currently working on huge monorepo with Apollo microservices and module Federated React apps, which means many instances of node running on the background.

Intellij is extremly slow to work on this stack.

Now i'm testing vscode vs WebStorm. Will update later about the results!

After 2 working days, I can confirm that WebStorm is Much faster/less RAM cunsumer than IntelliJ.
