Text Editor Survey
Is there a text editor that combines 1) the choice and ecosystem of VS Code with 2) the performance of native code and 3) the ease of use of a modern editor such as [insert editor here]. I currently use VS Code and, although it’s a good editor, it is quite slow for big workloads and a bit of a resource hog. I continue to read here on HN how others feel the same, so there has got to be some white space in the market. Am I right or wrong ?
Hmm... a text editor that has vscode's ecosystem but is not vscode? Sounds
like a thinly veiled advertisement for a vaporware editor of your own
creation (that will never materialize, unless your name is Linus).
Note emacs was also considered a resource vortex for much of its history
(backronym: eight megabytes and swapping). Then the hardware caught up, and
now emacs is considered "lightweight." Same will happen to vscode. To
respond to your survey, I'm a fervent emacser.
I haven't use it, but if you lower your expectations a bit, there's sublimetext, emacs and vim.
