    I hope it gets there. I was a sublime user until vs code’s integrations got so far ahead that the productivity gains outweighed the slowness, but I really want it to be faster.

    Do zed plugins have to be written in rust? If they do then that will slow community contributions since it’s not as popular as JavaScript for vs code.

      Vs code is slow? Literally the entire reason I switched to it years ago is because it’s very fast.

        Yep, VSCode is slow because it is built on Electron which is just a another browser.

        extensions tend to be the slow part in my experience. after a couple heavy extensions on an already struggling work laptop I’ll frequently outpace it’s input handling and have to wait for it to catch up

          They certainly can be. Admittedly over time I’ve installed a lot of extensions but also gotten better hardware along the way. All I know is that despite having like 20 extensions installed I can startup vs code in just 3-5 seconds
