Keep an eye on https://lapce.dev/ and https://zed.dev/ . Both immature, but show a lot of promise! - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
Https://lapce.dev/ This is Zed replacement for me. Cross platform. Same performance as Zed. Written in Rust for all the benefits. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
As a Neovim afficionado - I think you lose some credibility recommending it as an alternative to VSCode and Sublime. They're different beasts. I imagine a lot of people would be immediately turned off if they were expecting a VSCode/Sublime-like editing experience. I'd put Lapce in that spot: https://lapce.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
I do not see any indication of its "not-readiness" anywhere in the README https://github.com/lapce/lapce So while it isn't claiming to be ready, their content does not tell otherwise. Yes, the version is 0.3, but Neovim is at 0.9. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
I've recently started using [Lace](https://lapce.dev/) as a sort of barebones VSCode alternative and I find it nice for the hobbyist use case. It integrates with all the things I need, and other less mature features I bypass completely (I prefer to do Git from the terminal anyway). - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
And Eclipse Foundation maintains VSCode-compatible editor designed to be a framework for other IDEs: https://theia-ide.org/ IMO sounds like natural foundation for Cursor. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
There's also the Eclipse VScode-look-alike-reimplementation called TheiaIDE https://theia-ide.org/ It was rough a few years ago, but nowadays it's pretty nice. TI rebuilt their Code Composer Studio using Theia so it does have some larger users. It's VSCode-with-an-Eclipse-feel to it - which might or might not be your cup of tea, but it's an alternative. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
100% this. It would be one thing if the only LSPs you could build came from Microsoft, but thatโs just not true. Itโs just that developing LSPs isnโt free. Cursor, Windsurf, etc. Are building multi-billion dollar businesses off the backs of the work that the VS Code team has done. And thatโs totally fine! Whatโs not fine, is trying to have access to the whole ecosystem of first party extensions that arenโt MIT... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Even better: Theia. It supports most vscode extensions right out of the box. https://theia-ide.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Big corporations are not monoliths, despite them having an overall singular personality. I believe that vscode was a sincere attempt, at least in the beginning. While based on electron which was originally developed for Atom, vscode was always much more performant than atom. But when it did gain a lot of developer attention, MS's true nature took hold and gradually converted it into the walled garden we see today.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
