I went back to the Zed code editor and it looks even better. I tried the Deno support for my projects and I'm impressed. I might be leaving the editor that shall remain nameless forever.

I just closed 111 chrome tabs and it freed 5GB of RAM.
I did the maths. I have 3 Chrome windows open. The personal widow has 82 open tabs. The developer window has 62 open tabs. The school window has 49 open tabs. Which means I have 193 total open browser tabs.
