i would 100% pay for non-electron/non-vscode ui (sublime text? anyone?)

nothing specifically against vscode/electron/atom. i did use atom 10 years ago, then started sublime text 2, since then, it has been really hard to beat sublime text. the speed and rendering of sublime is much better.

i also have been using zed, which can be considered cloud-code ui too in certain terms, zed is quite more resource-intensive than the sublime and feels higher latency. (possibly because I use frosty-transparent theme...)

What is your use case that you see UI lag between vscode and sublime? Honestly, I feel zero difference between sublime/vscode/vi. Vscode arguably takes longer to boot up, but that only happens like once a day so it's not a big deal.

I think this is a lot of "I don't like Typescript/Javascript for serious things" or "Electron sucks" posturing rather than an actual tangible difference.

Ready the copy. If you don't feel these differences every keystroke, count yourself lucky to have slower perception or typing, rather than accusing folks of posturing.

Zed is awesome and zed has zed AI and its built on non electron. Its actually built by the atom team itself by learning from their mistakes of building atom and this time instead of building it on browser, they did some pretty hardcore optimizations like running the editor at 144 fps or similar by rendering rectangles via GPU processing.

Zed is really snappy. It's kind of my go-to editor for most things.
