In the case of Zed it was always inevitable, a text editor doesn't raise >$10M in venture capital unless there's a plan to stuff it full of premium subscription features.

Warp Terminal is a similar story, >$50M in funding for a terminal emulator of all things...

What I'd give to have a look at the roadmaps to see how they hope to 10x/100x VC investments with a text editor and terminal.

Just look at Postman.

Postman’s success seems almost inevitable in hindsight. Look at how many tutorials involve curl at some point, and Postman was “curl with a GUI”.

The funny thing is Atom was the origin story of Zed, written in some C++ and a lot of Coffeescript exactly so it could be very programmable.

Also, Spacemacs? It's technically a terminal but definitely has a lot of UI features. Very programmable.
