> For example, the reason why IDE's feel "slow" is often because they just come with more features:

IDEs don't feel slow, they ARE slow

because written in HTML and Javascript

go and try Delphi from 2005, it's blazing fast (and more functional...)



Confidently wrong are we? I use VSCode daily with a couple of extensions and it's fast, never stutters and I never have to wait for anything, so I'm not sure where you pulled that one from.


It's not an IDE, and it's actually pretty sluggish.


I'm surprised none of them have built on Zed yet


Rust is too hard when you can quickly fork vscode and hack together enough JavaScript to hopefully get acquired before the moat evaporates.
