Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

TextAdept
Another small, minimalist Lua-based text editor is Lite[1], and it's much less "light" cousin Lite-XL[2]

A Love Letter to Tinkerable Software
Playing with browser developer tools and always seeing obfuscated JavaScript makes me sad. I'm not a web developer, but I suspect the security gained is low enough to fall within the author's "unnecessary constraints."
On the other hand, there are projects like https://github.com/rxi/lite

Leveraging Rust and the GPU to render user interfaces at 120 FPS
Beyond the rendering which as noted is nothing that hasn't been done before (in general) the inherent OT/multi user + tree sitter functionality is something that entices me.
I'm surprised nobody pointed out lite/litexl here either it's rendering of ui is very similar (although fonts are via a texture; like a game would) and doesn't focus overly on the GPU but optimises those paths like games circa directx9/opengl 1.3

Minimal Cross-Platform Graphics
For any graphic intensive application it would be obviously be necessary to use a GPU.
But for quick hacking / porting old demos / writing emulators and also text based UI it can be fast enough.
With the added benefit of small footprint, high compatibility and fast startup time.
The Lite editor https://github.com/rxi/lite is using pure software rendering (on top of SDL) in a rather naïve fashion but it still renders full 32bit colors at full resolution at more than 60FPS on my computer, not the best solution but still surprisingly fast given the simplicity of the renderer.
This is typically a case where simple/naïve can beat a juggernaut like Electron.

https://github.com/rxi/lite/blob/master/src/rencache.c#L4
I think you'll find that they found the naive approach was sufficiently poor, performance wise, that additional optimizations had to be applied on-top.

Now that Atom has been discontinued - where to next?
You have options: - Sublime Text - VsCodium - Lite - https://github.com/rxi/lite

Lapce
I like the single lapce.exe and loads reasonably fast.
But this is in a pre pre-alpha stage, so many bugs it's far too early for public feedback. It loads reasonably fast except chrome stats in top left then jerks towards the center. The start page says to bring up the command palette which I was unable to navigate via keyboard.
The open file dialog takes an eternity to load the first time, the path is in a text box that's not editable. Focusing a text file gives an Insert cursor which is in text mode, there's a noticable slow delay before writing the first character, text selection is non existent so lacks basic text editing features.
There is a built-in terminal however there's only a single tab.
The only thing that gives it potential is that the folder/file browsing is super quick even with a node_modules folder so it might be built on efficient rendering that can be improved.
Even for such a basic editor it's 38mb download. For a far smaller + more complete editor checkout Lite:

Ask HN: What is your development workflow on the MacBook M1?
What has helped me with the consolidation is the ubiquity of my preferred key bindings. I use vim keys with spacemacs like bindings.
On emacs, doom-emacs[1] gives me the bindings. On VSCode, VSpaceCode[2], on Jetbrains Rider, Intellimacs[3]. While there are minor differences between the implementations, I have very limited friction when switching between IDEs.
I have paid for the Jetbrains ultimate subscription as I also use DataGrip. I think I’ll be satisfied with the current version of their IDEs for the next 2 years even if I decide to cancel the sub.

Switching From VSCode to DOOM Emacs Recently. Here's My Experience
For setting up VSCode as a modal editor with mnemonic keys use https://vspacecode.github.io/. It wont be as good as doom/spacemacs but its for sure better than VSCode vanilla
-
How do I get from the tutorial to being productive?
Productivity is purely subjective and the most minimal and customizable solution is not always the answer. My personal solution is doom emacs for productivity with org mode, text authoring with latex / pandoc and random text editing and VSCode with VSpaceCode for coding.

What's the difference between Vim/Emacs? Do they do they same thing? New to Linux and can't decide which to use!
Then Spacemacs is probably the most nicely configured editor in existence. It improves over Vim by making the SPC the central leader key, and adding highly intuitive mnemonic keybindings. Really, check out Spacemacs for 5 minutes, and I guess you will understand the beautiful concept and using it you will have the power of Emacs and Vim combined (and improved on) in one. You should not just take my words without checking them, but I can tell you that I have checked out the various 'Spacemacs imitations', spacevim, vspacecode, atom with which-key, but they all pale by comparison to Spacemacs (Doom emacs is a good competitor but personally I prefer Spacemacs and definitely I would recommend it over Doom for beginners).

Vim/Neovim, Vscode or Intellij?
A note for people that like keyboard-based workflow but are not willing to give up the VSCode ecosystem, you have VSpaceCode: https://vspacecode.github.io/
- Why you still use VSCODE , knowing it have telemetry and data gathering?

VS Code extension to integrate the tox task automation tool
Not at all - pretty much the opposite: I switched to VS Code after using Emacs (Spacemacs and later Doom Emacs) for 4.5 years. Other than the excellent keyboard usability, I've always found emacs to be a bit of a pain. After I found Edamagit and VSpaceCode, I was sold.

The values of Emacs, the Neovim revolution, and the VSCode gorilla
I had a similar experience recently, where I had to spend some time working in TypeScript on a React front-end and my emacs really was falling over unfortunately. Tried tide, tried the LSP, but ultimately I found myself in VSCode in order to make the deadline. Turns out there is a pretty great magit layer in VSCode (https://github.com/kahole/edamagit), and as a former long term vim user that had been using spacemacs, a great spacemacs-like bundle for VSCode (https://github.com/VSpaceCode/VSpaceCode).
It’s the first time I’ve actually felt like I could drop emacs if I wanted to, I actually was enjoying the setup.
