vscodium is enough.
vscodium doesn’t run at 120 FPS and isn’t native, which are Zed’s goals
Why on earth would you need a text editor to run at 120 fps
Especially when you have a bunch of extensions and a large-enough file, you want it to parse, highlight, and suggest fast.
Gotta type first. Everyone knows thats the bottleneck for productivity.
So it doesn’t run at a wastefully high FPS for a text editor? Is that supposed to be a selling point for Zed that it renders many, many more frames than a text editor needs?
The selling point is performance and speed… frames don’t get rendered above your refresh rate.
Letters appearing when you type them improves user experience dramatically
Yeah I find it impossible to program at 60fps.
Agreed, anything below 5 FPS is probably a bit slow for a text editor.
