Lapse is going the extensions-for-features route, cross platform from the start, is more buggy atm, slower progress (doesn’t have 3 dedicated experienced devs) but is more accepting of community support.
Zed, similar goals and rust backend, probably has some monetization goals (eventual offering of live sharing code service), and Zed isn’t afraid to hardcode features. Like… very hard hardcoded features, to the point that I’m kinda concerned about it. This 5min clip of Theo looking over the source code shows it pretty well

The Atom/Zed devs write the most well-documented code I’ve ever read. Clear variable names, perfect comment-explainations when needed, etc. I wish they would join up with Lapse.
Maybe it will be more stable and have more features than Lapce. I think so because I tried Lapce yesterday, and it was so buggy on my machine. But no doubt Lapce is a solid alternative to VSCodium and it has all the features that I want but it lacks customization and is buggy for me. I am still not sure for Zed though because I didn’t tried it yet and waiting for Linux support.
How does it compare against Lapce?
