I have a sneaking feeling that the people who use only their keyboards to navigate are the ones who really notice latency in e.g. VSCode.
I navigate with the trackpad on a Mac and seem not to ever feel it, but I know others do not like this way of working, which is fair enough.
Lapce is interesting to me for other reasons: it is one of the few[0] GUI text editors with a remote dev option that matches what VSCode can do. And it might have a smaller footprint on the remote machine/in the container while doing it.
VSC’s remote dev support is very nearly non-negotiable for me now, so I say more power to them; I intend to try it again properly soon.
[0] there is another editor that was mentioned here recently that can achieve this with a plugin, but I forget the name

Update: Zed is that editor.
