Good. I’m glad. It’s a great editor but the whole electron backend is so bloated.

- dzogchen 7mo agoWhat are you glad about exactly? This seems to be another big bang rewrite with LLMs. Fun but extremely unlikely to go anywhere.
- dev_l1x_be 7mo agoNot op but there is a lot of details about VS code including electron that could have been done better.
- hu3 7mo agoThat can be said about any project. And VSCode as been improving since inception, hence why it ate a large pie of the market.
- dev_l1x_be 7mo agoI think the exact opposite, this why alternatives like Zed is taking off.
- hu3 7mo agoDid Zed fix font rendering on low dpi resolution yet? I figured if they couldn't fix such a basic functionality for any editor, for over a year, while pushing AI to please stakeholders, they weren't worth my time. And I question their priorities even if they finally fixed it. And did they implement debugger support? When I need a barebones editor I reach for Sublime which doesn't market themselves as something else. As for Zed taking off, I see a lot of vocals in some niche communities but they barely register, if at all, in large annual surveys.
- yurishimo 7mo agoVS Code is one of the most performant electron apps ever written. Extensions and plugins are always the culprit of poor performance.
- gigatexal 7mo agoI want a vscode port to native. think zed but with the rich ecosystem.
