GPUI 2 is now in production – Zed
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?

Neovim 0.8 Released
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.

What's the most commonly used IDE for golang development ?
Neovim, I used Vs Code but I prefer Neovim. There's this open source repository that I've been using to set up neovim in my terminal. It makes life so much easier than installing plugins and stuff on other IDEs Check it out: https://github.com/fluxninja/dotfiles

Dotfiles Management
1. It doesn't do a good job in making a backup of existing files as it's meant to be setup on a new machine. However, the setup script can be quickly modified to backup existing files. See [0].
2. Yes, it installs required packages via brew both on macOS and Linux. See [1].
