Besides what the other commenters have said, I have 32GB RAM. If Firefox or IntelliJ don't use it, nothing else will. I'd rather have the applications I live in utilise as much memory to make the experience faster and better, than to have unused RAM be wasted. IntelliJ is far superior over VS Code, VIM, etc. IntelliJ is batteries included, whereas VS Code, VIM, and most other editors require additional configurations. Some configurations I've seen have required hours and hours of set up and integration. With IntelliJ on the other hand, it just works. I click run on the main function, and it asks me for the compiler/runtime config the first time round, and afterwards it just fully works. Even running tests is as simply as clicking run from there on.
