Compared to what?

I find it telling that the original creators of electron are now writing a new editor with native code because even they can’t stand electron. It’s like they are trying to write a wrong they did to the world.

compared to... nothing... I love it. It's subjective. I love what it does and it's my favorite piece of software because it does what i need it to do, every time, all the time.

Xcode, Visual Studio (the original I mean), PyCharm et al., Eclipse, vim, emacs, Notepad++, Sublime… hmm that’s all the IDEs and text editors I can remember using significantly in a professional context. I prefer VSCode to those.

That's what happens when people use private APIs... there's no problem until there is.

Wise, applies to every piece of software on earth.

Still not half of vim or a quarter of emacs.

Love my 1985 Chevy and my 2025 (insert not very hated auto make here). Each has its uses

It is, true, but Zed is getting better and better every day!
