I suppose you could fix the bug yourself or stick with an older version and miss the bloat. But I get your point.
Also am breaking my rule of not being involved in ide wars. Must be because I'm on holiday!
What's your suggestion for avoiding bloat as I imagine lots of apps have always risked this as computers incrementally get more powerful.
Maybe a parallel lite version which focuses on the core features? VSCodium... But "official"!

Thanks for your comment !

I sadly don't have a solution for bloat, apart from using software designed by like-minded people (I use Arch, btw). It seems to me that I am doomed for many software to just suffer through the bloat until a lite-version (same company or a competitor) inevitably appears.

Also I am quite annoyed by what people allow themselves to do in the name of computers becoming faster. It's such a terrible ecological waste, and so annoying for people who can't afford the latest tech !
