alt Hacker NewsTotally disagree. One example is Zed which is very well known and it's faster than any other editor, wasn't built with AI though.

False Microsoft is all in with Copilot, and I can't believe the company that created Copilot doesn't use it internally, I'd rather say they should be the ones that would know how to master it! Yet no better vscode, still bloated teams etc etc

Do you mean to say Zed wasn't vibe coded? There's actually another comment on this post describing how someone is using Opus 4.5 to work on Zed. Given how forward the AI features are in Zed I'd be surprised if the team wasn't also embracing it internally.
It's a fair question how much AI is accelerating the development of Zed, but I can say that I've been impressed with the speed they are shipping at.

Why do you assume that Microsoft would focus on building a better (to you) VSCode or less bloated Teams?
I assume they'd use Github Copilot to make a more profitable VSCode and Teams, which doesn't require focusing on speed and bloat.
I don't recall if it was an AGENT.md or CLAUDE.md but one of those was definitely in the Zed repo last time I looked at it. Someone is using AI to work on it.
Zed fast? No way as I've mentioned last year https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42819817
