The only good thing to come from this new editor so far is the frank statement by the original Atom Developers (who invented Electron, just to run Atom) admitted that Electron is not a good solution for a code editor, because who in the heck wants to edit their code in a web browser anyway.
Now we just need to convince the devs of Keybase and Obsidian the same.
Well, looking at how popular VSCode is, looks like people don’t mind the web browser thing
What VSCode uses is a super cut down and highly optimised version of electron, designed specifically to run a code editor. It’s still not as good as real native code, but a lot of people are willing to put up with it because the plugins available for VSCode are pretty good.
People put up with it because, really, most people don’t care if the technology is a little wacky as long as the features are good.
Keybase is pretty much abandoned after Zoom acquired them.
I was wondering what could happened with Atom. Nice to see it died to reincarnate into a powerful IDE.
Looks really awesome, going to try it out when there’s a Linux version. VSCode is great, but could use some more performant competition.
But I thought Zed was dead, honey…

Unless this is a drop-in replacement for vim, I don’t wanna hear about it!
How can you tell if someone uses vim? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you about it.
zed has always been open source. Seems that you are just trying to squat its name, am I right?
120 stars… not exactly a common household name. Meanwhile zed the editor has 12k stars, gaining or losing 120 wouldn’t even register. Your comment is delusional
It is common that libraries have fewer stars than end user apps. Especially if they never spammed in communities.
The reasons why almost nobody has heard of them don’t matter, the point is that nobody has heard of them - meaning they have no fame to steal or popularity to piggy back off of
