Find a way to port plugins from VSC and I'm in!

That will take a long time because plugins [1][2] are written in Rust too, e.g. Go LSP plugin [3][4].

Just installed this on windows 10. First time I tried to open it the window hung for 3 minutes until I killed it. The second time, I couldn't reposition the window by clicking and dragging. Third time I loaded it, it hung again. It's an exciting product pitch but isn't working for me. I see now that there's a "pre-alpha stage" disclaimer on the download page and wish that were in larger font.

I guess it had a lapse.

On Ubuntu for me on my laptop, it opens, then I try to drag the top status area and it sort of hides under the icon bar at the left part of the screen. Then I try to click on it again and it is completely hidden. The icon is still there though.

As someone who uses Neovim, I would love to have a near-vim experience in something that has all of the convenience of VSC + a great plugin ecosystem. However, I'm not sure about the fact that in `normal` mode `:` just brings up the `cmd+shift+p` command dialog. Maybe I could get used to it, but the fact that something as simple as my muscle memory for "I'm in `normal` mode, better type `:w` just to make sure I've saved" automatically bringing up that dialog and then suggesting I `Close current window` immediately... is not helpful. If the command experience is going to be so different from vim them it's not really going to ever be a suitable replacement even for brief stints/pairing IMO. It's a shame because the VS Code vim plugin leaves a lot to be desired.

Does anyone have insight into how Lapce and Zed compare to each other? I.e. what are the differences in project goals, current capabilities and roadmap? Thanks!

Lapce being cross-platform is a major difference for now, Zed plans to be eventually but it's currently only on Mac.

Use https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim instead.

How easy it is to underestimate the effort needed to compete with the status quo.

There would be no sane individuals to try to siege it if this was evident for everyone though!

I think VSCode is also moving in the direction of wasi extensions[0], including for its serverside extensions host[1]. So there's a chance we get some of that for free.
