Task rank
#10
Tier
A
Score
80.8

Strengths

  • Written in Rust for very low input latency compared with Electron-based editors.
  • Includes an agent panel that can edit across files with bring-your-own-model support.
  • Open source with a free tier and built-in multiplayer collaboration.

Considerations

  • Extension ecosystem is far smaller than the VS Code marketplace.
  • Agentic features are newer and less proven than Cursor or Copilot.
  • Best experience is on macOS and Linux; Windows support arrived later.

Price

Free and open source; paid AI plans available for hosted models.
