The whole recent crop of extendable editors (atom, vscode, zed, etc.) seem to have been created by a younger generation that never used emacs (and are perhaps scared of it because they find Lisp weird) and so are reinventing the wheel.
- replete 2y agoHave you heard about Windows? People don't even know about 'dir' anymore, they just click things with a mouse. It's horrific.
- tazu 2y agoI’ve never used Emacs, but heavily used Vim/NeoVim for many years. I recently switched to Zed because I was tired of shitty terminal emulators on Mac, and wanted something designed from the ground up with speed and GPU acceleration in mind. All my screens are 120hz and I needed something capable of keeping up with that. I think new editors are created because of an underserved aspect of the classics (Emacs/Vim)—in Zed’s case it's addressing the poor GUI experience—and then have to recreate tools in their new frameworks. It’s a good thing. Monopolies are bad, and rethinking how we do things is good.
