I have this at home and enjoy it. What will your work use it for?

Resource usage and storage would be the main things to look out for. Octi really does need ssds as hdds will slow it to a crawl, a good amount of ram is nice but not fully a requirement for home use

Parsec is pretty slick imo.

I dunno if it’s already been mentioned, but there’s VSCodium, it’s vscode without Microsoft

Yes but that’s not ideal for a nervous flyer, or being in a window seat. It’s easier to just stand at the airport.

For me it’s the last chance to stand for a while. If I’m going to be sitting in a cramped seat for 2+ hours then you bet I’m going to be standing before hand. So the if I’m standing then I might as well be in line.
