From the Atom team? The same Atom that takes forever to load? Gonna be a hard pass from me, even if it does make it to PCs.

The technology is nothing alike though. Atom is Electron and Javascript where Zed is Rust with its own custom UI toolkit.

And on the current version of Pulsar (the only real community fork of Atom seeing active development), startup time to point of the editor being usable is actually slightly faster than VSCode.

I think this editor is supposed to be super fast because of their GPU or whatever libraries. It's also supposed to be written in Rust.

So far there's no extensions and just on Mac. Maybe when those open up I'll take a closer look.
