alt Hacker NewsA lot of people use VSCode. Zed's value proposition is being basically that but with fully native code, so without the madness that is Electron. If you're not a fan of this kind of tooling, it's totally fine, but many people see the value in having an extensible graphical code editor

My tone probably came off as antagonistic and that was not my intention. I was interested in if anyone was using the high fidelity graphical features for something other then making the environment prettier.
I am always interested in what features new editors and how people use them and such and if I am missing out.

Is Zed really fully native?
Last time I tried it (few months back) it felt really slow. Truns out it was spawning nodejs servers and using tons of memory.
Honestly, vscode was much faster for me (and looked much better).
