I have no idea how people use so much RAM. I use a 16 GB machine for work and it runs perfectly. For the majority of the time I'm well below 8GB. And I do use Electron apps.
Of course, I'm aware of the possible uses demanding more than 16 GB but I can't believe this would be the case for a majority of the people.
With just a web browser, teams, and visual studio open my work machine sits at 95% usage of 16gb. Half the time my compiles can't even finish without getting axed by the oom killer. SSMS is a hog too, I often have to close half my stuff to get to work right.
Supposed to be getting an upgrade but my company is taking their sweet time.
Right! IDE is probably the missing piece. I use Neovim exclusively so I didn't even think about this.
