I don’t think that’s the right lesson here.

And yet, they all then seem to do a whole bunch of work that is specific to each platform anyway.

Further, if Zed was an electron app nobody would be talking about it.

Electron’s great if you want to be the first on the market, and for many of them competition never arrives.

Zed fills the niche that Sublime left behind. Electron is what you need to make the mass market product in Thu’s class.
