> This is a fucking wrapper around an open source text editor
People like you are no longer receive attention for shouting and throwing a tantrum. You and your negative comments are drowned out.
So, what happened to HN? It has improved. Hop aboard and take a swig of positivity buddy.
Made something incredibly useful, but wrapped an existing tool. The praise is completely misguided.
I prefer a world where people get praise for something praiseworthy. Not an army of people who say things like "take a swig of positivity buddy".
On the other hand, I agree that a lot of people seem to think that OP has recreated vscode from scratch, which seems to have led to a lot of over the top praise. “Obviously” this is just an embed of the Monaco editor, which is still very cool mind you, but not a towering UX achievement or anything.
