It become open source just last week. Currently don’t have Linux version but soon it will have. Linux Roadmap issue

Can confirm that’s it’s very fast. Just lacking plugins at the moment.
I will watch it with great interest
I hope it gets there. I was a sublime user until vs code’s integrations got so far ahead that the productivity gains outweighed the slowness, but I really want it to be faster.
Do zed plugins have to be written in rust? If they do then that will slow community contributions since it’s not as popular as JavaScript for vs code.
Vs code is slow? Literally the entire reason I switched to it years ago is because it’s very fast.
Yep, VSCode is slow because it is built on Electron which is just a another browser.
Aware. V8 is fast.
extensions tend to be the slow part in my experience. after a couple heavy extensions on an already struggling work laptop I’ll frequently outpace it’s input handling and have to wait for it to catch up
They certainly can be. Admittedly over time I’ve installed a lot of extensions but also gotten better hardware along the way. All I know is that despite having like 20 extensions installed I can startup vs code in just 3-5 seconds
Vs code will get annoyingly slow even in vanilla setups when editing large files. Personally I can tell the difference in did compared to sublime text even without plugins, it’s not enough to be too annoying which is why I was ok with switching, but it just feels better when it’s lighting fast since the input lag piles up in a text editor since you’re typing really quick the whole time.
Depends on what you’re used before I guess. I came from sublime text which was written in C++ and was blazing fast. You could throw any size file at it, I still use it when I need to edit a large file. I can notice the input lag in vs code even in small files with a vanilla setup. After adding plugins the lag can become even more noticable and in certain use cases it straight up slows you down. It’s not so slow that it’s unusable, but it’s noticably slower, and leaves me desiring more speed. But speed alone isn’t enough, it needs really good plugins which is why I traded speedy sublime text for vs code in the first place.
VSCode is fine
Yeah, it’s fine, I said I use it didn’t I? But it’s just fine, so I’d prefer something even better.

Sounds exactly like atom… until they killed atom
