The whole recent crop of extendable editors (atom, vscode, zed, etc.) seem to have been created by a younger generation that never used emacs (and are perhaps scared of it because they find Lisp weird) and so are reinventing the wheel. |

I recently switched to Zed because I was tired of shitty terminal emulators on Mac, and wanted something designed from the ground up with speed and GPU acceleration in mind. All my screens are 120hz and I needed something capable of keeping up with that.
I think new editors are created because of an underserved aspect of the classics (Emacs/Vim)—in Zed’s case it's addressing the poor GUI experience—and then have to recreate tools in their new frameworks. It’s a good thing. Monopolies are bad, and rethinking how we do things is good.
