It is, which is why I avoid it. The amount of power VSCode consumes vs others is significant. Jetbrains products even have a low power mode which turns off indexing. Can run that thing all day long without plugging in.

I also use Ripcord for slack instead of that electron client.

I always avoid electron apps so I don't have to have a separate flow when I am on battery vs plugged in.
