29 days agoI get that peeps are coming from VSCode and I support competition with MS’s EEE of software dev.
But, like, bloat and corporate capture were always the trade offs with VSCode … you all knew that right?

AFAIU, it doesn’t have a plugin runtime, which is fairly glaring to me (but maybe not for devs these days).
This is what triggered my “is it hype” thought, as I’ve seen people say it does but it’s in rust or something.
And I feel like many fail to realise how hard it is to build a new editor with everything we take for granted these days.
Fediverse & typst similarly.
