I run VSCode, Slack, Discord, GitHub, and my company's own app. There are others out there that I would use but my memory pressure is already too high.
Plenty of popular project management / task-tracking tools are very memory heavy too, and also so slow to load that one's reluctant to close their tab(s). Plus if I close them I sometimes have trouble finding WTF I need again. Jira, Asana, both major offenders. Can easily eat many hundreds of MB of memory. It's entirely fucking absurd for what they do and the content they deal with. Harsh (and harsher) language justified.
While don't have any info or even anectada about the other, JIRA is even more bloated on the server side - we had JIRA hosted on premises and it was used mainly for tasks and tickets in a team of 5 people. This "metric" (team size) limits the amount of tasks/tickets that would be processed. Anyway, the JIRA itself needed 2 cores and 8 GB of ram just for that. This is really even beyond absurd.
