I have a laptop I bought 10 years ago. It only has 16 gig of RAM [1].
I have had 8+ editors open, mix of visual studio and vs codes. And in VS you often group all your codebases into single solutions. So usually have multiple windows from multiple projects open in each ide.
It only struggles when I leave the debuggers running several days because of a slight (known) memory leak in visual studio. There's probably a fix but reopening the ide takes like 10 seconds. And it remembers all my open files.
All editors are much better, faster at searching, use less memory, etc. than they wwre 10/20 years ago.
Everyone's improved. You seem to be a bit stuck with an old impression.
[1] I have a vastly more powerful machine but I keep procrastinating switching my work setup over to it.
