And speed. Startup time is instantaneous, in comparison to VS code say.
- wmf 2y agoThe same team that "erased" native editors is now selling us the solution to the problem they created.
- eikenberry 2y agoErased? On the contrary it seems, to me at least, like new editor development has really grown over the last few years. Editors like Kakoune, Helix, Micro are coming along nicely. I'm looking to switch, at least partially, to Helix soon myself.
- hobs 2y agoHow much are you going to pay for the 5 seconds per day you open up your editor? Most people dont even close it in the first place.
- bobbylarrybobby 2y agoPresumably speed is an overall important factor for the creators — not just startup speed — and I'd imagine it translates into speed elsewhere, such as input latency and UI responsiveness.
- metabagel 2y agoI haven't tried this software, but I imagine it's more about having the UI keep up, so you can stay in the flow state.
- hansonkd 2y agoIs raw code output so large that your editor can't "keep up" really something to optimize for? For me personally I write as little code as possible. you don't get bonus points for number of lines you write.
- lillecarl 2y agoYes, while at the same time having a responsive UI is important for editing, and we're not hanging less stuff in our editors than yesterday. Both emacs and neovim and vscode are essentially IDEs today.
- satvikpendem 2y agoYes it is, especially when you work with lots of large files in big codebases. I can open files in Vim that would crash VSCode, which is essentially why I still use Vim for certain parts of development.
- Starlevel004 2y agoStraight up not true. Running my local copy it takes 5 seconds for the window to appear.
- maxbrunsfeld 2y agoIf this happens with Zed 0.129 or later, could you open an issue? We had a problem at one point where there was a delay in macOS verifying our app’s code signature because we weren’t attaching the code signature correctly.
- keyle 2y ago5 seconds sounds extremely long for a macOS native application. Could be macOS security (XProtect), storage latency?, tons of compressed memory?...
