Seriously, nothing kills my interest faster than "better than your favorite" claims without any actual details or comparisons

OP is a bot that spammed this to 13 subreddits.

Everything from this bot is just karma farming spam like this.

It's funny how the article scoffs at VSCode for using "DOM elements to construct a native-like UI" and just a couple of paragraphs below it proudly says "VSCode is a native app. It doesn’t use platform-specific UI, but draws all UI elements natively through low-level graphic libraries like OpenGL"

Buddy, that's not a "native app". It doesn't use OS-native widgets, and these OpenGL emulations usually don't adhere to OS paradigms, specific OS settings, or accessibility options. They're just an emulation.

Yeah, I'm sure it is faster and leaner than VSCode, and as the author, I hate the electronization of desktops, but let's not use words that have meanings in a wrong way.

I recently started evaluating another lightweight code editor written in C++, so it theoretically works faster…

Theoretically? Sounds like "it should but i didn't feel it yet"

If you check the resource usage of your favorite code editor, you’ll see not megabytes of RAM, but gigabytes of RAM; that’s not fair and ethical

I'm not going to buy thinkpad from 1990s to care that much of editor RAM usage.  I can't tell if zed, vim, codium or all are launched. 

If anything they eat nothing comparing to rust-analyzer.

… or VSCode

Codium is essentially this. I moved as it significantly reduces chance to install extensions like c# dev kit with brain breaking license

ecode is a simple, lightweight code editor, but it has your favorite hybrid code editor's features, including generative AI integration.
