Zed's focus on high performance might be misplaced. Compared to editors like VSCode, the performance boost feels marginal. To convince developers to switch, the emphasis should be on enhancing the overall developer experience. Marginal speed gains alone aren't enough to make me move away from VSCode, and I don't care if a tool is written in Rust or any other language.
Yep. As a VS Code user, I can’t say that improved performance has been anywhere near the top of my wish list for…half a decade, at least.
And yeah, I get it, boo hoo, electron, blah blah. There’s always going to be the rev head at all costs crowd. I don’t think that appealing to them should be this prominent through. The value proposition just isn’t there.
