      vscodium doesn’t run at 120 FPS and isn’t native (as in Electron), which are Zed’s goals

      Edit: it doesn’t seem like native widgets are a development focus of Zed, though

          Especially when you have a bunch of extensions and a large-enough file, you want it to parse, highlight, and suggest fast.

        So it doesn’t run at a wastefully high FPS for a text editor? Is that supposed to be a selling point for Zed that it renders many, many more frames than a text editor needs?

          The selling point is performance and speed… frames don’t get rendered above your refresh rate.
