I really love native apps, but I'm stuck using VS code for now. It just kills me to see how much power goes to blinking the cursor in VS code. I tried Zed for a bit but couldn't make it work. I loved that its so light weight and fast. Looking my all my VS code processes it 3GB vs Zeds 300MB. 1/10 the ram is a meaningful difference. However I really need the Jupyter Notebook support that VS code provides. I'm also too used to doing remote dev on a Ubuntu box from my mac and VS code works great for that. I hope they stick with it long enough to get to supporting my workflow.
- briandw 3y agoLooks like the Notebook request has been open for over a year. https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5273 https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5273 So according to the Lindy effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect, it'll be more than a year before we see anything.
- a_wild_dandan 3y agoI guess that I'm lucky. I presently have multiple VS Code projects open (local & remote), and a Notebook running, and rarely break ~650MB -- less than 1% of my Macbook's memory. Maybe everyone has more extensions on than I do or something.
