Sounds to me like you have underpowered hardware. I use it constantly for all kinds of tasks and the fan never even spins up. I haven't heard "spinning out of control causing the CPU to cook" anywhere else

It's a text editor. It should run fine on whatever hardware I have. In this case, it's a fairly modern 15" MacBook Pro so even a full featured IDE should be just fine.


It has happened to me with some frequency. Sorry but I dont buy the under-powered hardware excuse when vim or Sublime perform great in the same computer. And for the record I really like VS Code, but I am not deluded.


Underpowered hardware for Electron apps runs giant IDEs for Java development with ten times the features just fine.


Which Java IDEs are these?


Eclipse and Android Studio are both monster IDEs


Also, while Intelij is better than Eclipse, it's a bit of a pig too. Not crazy bad like Eclipse was, but bloated enough.
