What prompted you to develop it? The market for this is quite crowded with Atom and VS Code. Where you that dissatisfied with them? Just wondering.

I like that this is native though. VS Code is one of the rare good electron apps but native is still nicer IMO. Will give it a try.

It's mainly speed.

I don't know if it's fixed now. Previously when I was using VSCode, sometimes the "go to definition" hangs and it will freeze the whole editor, which was unacceptable. So in Lapce, nothing blocks the main thread other than your key press.

Interesting, I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for building it.

I thought atom was ditched. Competitors would be VSC, Sublime and JetBrains.
