I don't often code in python either, but it's a considerable red flag that one of the largest languages in the world has been completely broken for this long. It makes me not want to invest time building muscle memory for the editor. Sometimes I need to code in python, and when I do, I don't want a lot of inconsistencies and jank.

That's what I mean by niche layered on niche- the editor itself is a niche project that leverages another niche project (tree-sitter) to do indentation, and when contributions on either aren't up to par it kind of falls apart.

I have used the editor a decent amount and it's quite nice when it works. I don't even mind the lack of plugin extensibility because there's not really anything I needed that wasn't built in.
