I hope it gets there. I was a sublime user until vs code's integrations got so far ahead that the productivity gains outweighed the slowness, but I really want it to be faster.
Do zed plugins have to be written in rust? If they do then that will slow community contributions since it's not as popular as JavaScript for vs code.
VSCode is fine
Yeah, it's fine, I said I use it didn't I? But it's just fine, so I'd prefer something even better.
Maybe for you. I personally am quite picky about tools I use all day every day.
Cool story. Same here. Did you want to get into an internet Snapfish at which tool has millisecond advantages over another?
If it were just millisecond advantages I would gladly use VSCode, but in large projects the difference is massive, it takes minutes to fully load a project and several seconds to perform certain actions.
Vs code is slow? Literally the entire reason I switched to it years ago is because it's very fast.
extensions tend to be the slow part in my experience. after a couple heavy extensions on an already struggling work laptop I'll frequently outpace it's input handling and have to wait for it to catch up
They certainly can be. Admittedly over time I've installed a lot of extensions but also gotten better hardware along the way. All I know is that despite having like 20 extensions installed I can startup vs code in just 3-5 seconds
VSCode is only fast if you're comparing it to Atom.
Yep, VSCode is slow because it is built on Electron which is just a another browser.
Aware. V8 is fast.
V8 is heavy
Heavy != slow. VS Code isn't a slow editor, its just resource intensive.
And yet vs code is barely slower than editors with practically no features. Silly thing to argue about, but it's certainly very fast considering the featureset
