I don’t think many people are going to use this as these days we already have a perfect editor for everyone

oh god, another ide. How many ides we need?

Nice! The more tools, the better. hopefully we’ll see a standard for editor extensions too (kinda like LSP) which would give us even more freedom of choice.

so basically vs code without extensions, or with some minimal ones that doesn’t hit too much performance. I don’t see myself using this one but i could be wrong you never know, but for the time being it needs to improve a lot if it’s to be used massively.
