Good. I’m glad. It’s a great editor but the whole electron backend is so bloated.

What are you glad about exactly? This seems to be another big bang rewrite with LLMs. Fun but extremely unlikely to go anywhere.

Not op but there is a lot of details about VS code including electron that could have been done better.

Quoting from the README:

> The entire VSCode workbench - editor, terminal, extensions, themes, keybindings — ported to run on a native shell.

but also

> Many workbench features are stubbed or partially implemented

So which is it? The README needs to be clearer about what is aspirational, what is done, and what is out of scope. Right now it just looks like an LLM soup.

The first sentence is aspirational, while the second is describing current state.
