Gedit is fantastic. Thanks for all the work on it. I used it for years before VS Code, and I still use it outside of work on my personal projects.

Amazing how much work you can get done by just typing the damn code into the editor, sometimes.

However, writing typescript in vscode genuinely changed the way I think about editors. It's a smalltalkish sort of feeling where my code (at least the textual level) lives and breathes in the editor, automatic tooltips that are actually relevant, etc.

Idk. I like both.

I work on Builder, not Gedit. However, Gedit does get various features as we push them up into Gtk/GtkSourceView. The overview map is one such example. The pixelcache in GtkTextView enabling smooth 60fps scrolling is another.
