I don't understand the hate for zed here. Because they are MacOs only? Well, platform support is being worked and looking at their business model it seems MacOs users will the cohort that actually pays for these kinds of things. It will be fun to try out once it comes on linux buy my fealty is with nvim.
They wana be vscode, but barly have the features of suplime text. The marketing is dumm.
Well it's just starting out. + They're at least open source.
Thats wy we dont hype and wait. I wish them luck, but they aint killed nothing yet and there not even close.
I liked Atom, performance was tolerable on my overpowered machine, but MS killing it just sent me back to Vim and modernizing my plugins.
Zed positives: Metal rendering. I use a Mac, so one platform's fine. But negatives: Rust, so I can't/won't touch any internals, and I loathe the Rustacean propaganda wing. No extensions yet. Config is another stupid json file.
You know what's great about vimrc? It's easy to put in a few config commands, and then you realize you're working in the scripting language. You don't have to switch to a whole new file format. Thanks, Bram.

I'm hopeful it get somewhere. Lapce was a good idea, but is sadly slowing down. I'm hoping this will generate enough hype to make it live. I'm really looking forward to a IDE without Electron
I mean, it was DOA at "From the Atom team".
