CodeEdit VS community

Have a look at CodeEdit. It’s open source, built using SwiftUI, and they’ve put a lot of work into uncovering some of the more ambiguous components in macOS.

I'll still keep an eye out for CodeEdit though (due to its macOS native UI; don't really care whether my editor is written in Rust as long as it has a decent UI and ist fast).

The Github repository has 16.5K stars and yet the app is still in alpha.

Maybe an ide like these guys are trying to make but for all platforms https://github.com/CodeEditApp/CodeEdit

git clone https://github.com/CodeEditApp/CodeEdit.git

I'm trying to use CodeEdit's SegmentedControl in my own Mac Appkit app. I'd like my app to be able to be:

I'd love to try this, though the large number of projects that only support MacOS perplexes me. This excludes at least 80% of people with computers that would like to use your software and effectively limits it to a class of folk with money, creating a sort of nasty exclusivity to the software that does this when there doesn't seem to be a platform-limiting factor.

Their Windows Support Issue was opened on Jun 29, 2022 and the Linux one on the same day, so they're just under two years old. It seems that this isn't source-available right now either, though they mention they'll open source it at some point, but it prevents contributions toward this end too.

The websites this (https://github.com/zed-industries/community/issues/2197) list as the reason for blocking the other OSes though it's quite sparse and doesn't say much.

Genuine and non-argumentative question; why? Easier to focus on one platform for the purposes of achieving good stability before supporting more than one OS, or trying to get a userbase that is typically more willing to pay for your software? Investor pressure?

Most of this is public info btw. You can look at their hackernews/reddit announcement threads or https://github.com/zed-industries/community/issues/52

If anyone wants to express support for windows/linux support, go to https://github.com/zed-industries/community/issues/174 and give it a thumbsup.

* Added settings to customize the locations and names of journal files ([#479](https://github.com/zed-industries/feedback/issues/479), [#382](https://github.com/zed-industries/feedback/issues/382)).

Zed and Helix are both pretty new.

There's demand for plugin frameworks/scriptability in both but neither of them support it yet. I fully understand why people who need to script their editor are sticking with [neo]vim/Emacs — there are very few other options at the moment.
