They killed Atom.
And good thing too, for from the ashes of Atom rose Zed – and in case you haven’t checked it out yet, it’s awesome. Think VS code but 10000x faster.
Just had a look. They're pushing AI pretty hard.
There's also Pulsar
I wouldn’t say they’re pushing it. They’re adding AI features that, like it or not, are proving to be handy additions to a developer’s toolkit. But it’s not their core USP, and you can ignore it if you don’t care about it. In terms of speed I’ve found only Helix to match it.
Zed’s ‘live collaboration’ features, by contrast – yeah, no clue who the target user is there, since I grant everyone on my team to use whatever tools they feel most productive with.
Yes but without VSCode wouldnt Atom be like vscode: having many unfree extensions?
