Welcome news, hopefully we could eventually get to a modern highly extensible performant text editor!

  This. Sure, Emacs is a modern, highly extensible, performant OS already but we all know it's missing a good text editor!
  • bradrn 3y ago
    No it isn’t — evil-mode is a great text editor!

      I’ma let you finish, but pico was the greatest text editor of all time.. someone just needs to port it to emacs
  • zokier 3y ago
    Emacs is great many things, but fast it is not. Nativecomp improved some stuff a bit and there has been other improvements lately too, but ultimately the core of emacs is built for flexibility, not for perf.

  What’s wrong with Neovim?
  • wilsonnb3 3y ago
    it requires knowledge of obscure key bindings, the GUI options are lacking compared to other editors, and it is pretty barebones out of the box
  • eviks 3y ago
    A lot of things, from limited keybinding support due to terminal limits, unergonomic extension language, very poor default setup, lacking good GUI, poor multicursor support, lack of core Zed's feature - collaboration

      I know that's just a minor point, but I don't think you ever really need multicursor if you have access to vim features
      • eviks 3y ago
        Those features are a worse substitute for that awesome generic UI mechanism called immediate visual feedback (for the same reason Helix's visual-first mode, which unfortunately neovim also lacks, is better)
