Anyone tried to build it from sources, I bet what would kill this editor in the end is slow rust build time and complexity of language.

Why would that kill it? Have you ever tried to compile a browser?

no browser is fully built with rust, and that is why.

VS Code cannot be built from (public) sources at all, and that doesn't seem to have affected it's market share.
