meanwhile me who's never left editplus

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 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 mean, it was DOA at "From the Atom team".
