> Long term prospects for Sublime Text look good. The business is healthy and there is consistent work being done by a small but dedicated team.

I am glad to hear this. (As someone new also trying to sell a text editor)

Great inspiration.


100MB is not a giant file

> it isn't acceptable for software to start pulling in other software without my consent

Yes. That is a bit shady.



Sublime Text is measured "snappier" and use less memory than Zed.

There’s also Koi Editor.

No telemetry, no tracking, and much faster than Zed: https://koieditor.com/benchmarks/

Dev solely focused on performance and bug fixing.


So it seems.

What?

> An IDE at this point is best as a tool for code review.

I heard from a friend that most devs building serious stuff still write code. It's shocking but true. (No code review needed.)


At least it didn't succeed yet. They should drop a model somewhere, beating something else in some use case, and maybe people would use.


> You just say, "Go Build me x - it should have y,z features - and build it in golang for me" - and that's it - the 3-4 page Plan comes back - usually pretty credible - and then you click "build.".

What you're describing seems like a workflow for building toys only. There's currently no reality in which someone would actually know what the y,z features are before making them. A plan generated in 5min would likely suggest a suboptimal solution compared to what a good solution would look like (which might take a year or two to figure out, for a human, so still a week or so for SOTA models if at all possible). Building something in golang is cute, but hard to be convinced until more novel applications are being generated from prompts.

The data submitted by Cursor's users tho, that seems to be very valuable.
