I try this editor every few months to see how it's progressing and is still way too early to use as a daily driver.

People suggest this over Zed very frequently. In my experience Zed is way more mature and stable. That being said, it's no one near as usable as neovim with a good plugin setup, let alone a mature ide like Jetbrains products.

Jetbrains IDEs might be slow, but I'll get a hell of a lot more done in 8 hours with it. Once you learn to use the features well, it's incredibly powerful. I love vim, but generally use jetbrains.

If Jetbrains took 500ms to load a file vs 1ms to load, my productivity isn't going to change dramatically. It's fast enough. Yes initial indexing is slow, but it's easily worth it.

All this being said, I think Lapce is very informative as a resource to anyone trying to build an editor in rust.
