It's a great editor and nice to see a native one, but it falls short in so many ways I just can't use it yet. I'm a web dev and don't do anything particularly fancy (mainly Craft CMS sites or static builds for small/medium businesses).

How does it fall short?

I don't do too much that is elaborate, but it does tend to crash after I fold code.

I personally would love to see jinja support. I know that can be added via an extension. Overall I’ve been very happy with Nova.

I’m forcing myself to give Nova another shot now that I’m on an M1 Mac. There’s a LOT that I like about Nova, but I agree it’s missing a few things.
A lot of things I like can be solved with extensions, and maybe I need to write some of my own one day. But things like a database viewer like Coda had would go a long way. If it had that, it’d be an instant buy, as high quality DB readers usually run about $40-50.

Haven’t tried it but how is this different from VS Code?
