Tried it today, didn't expect much, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at the speed and look and feel. I will give it a try for a while to see if I will switch from vscode permanently.

Slogan: "Code at the speed of thought"

How does it speed up my typing? /s

I'm surprised and disappointed they didn't mention Windows.

They publish macOS and now Linux releases. The issue tracker has many/multiple Windows tickets and a windows label. So it seems it's not published as a release yet, but potentially usable as self-compiled, with efforts to reach stability. I assume anyway. There's no obvious, clear indication or documentation that I can find (docs, readme tickets, project, milestone).

Exists: Dev Docs has Windows setup instructions.

I'm using it on Windows, works fine for the most part. Compiling it takes ages and >16GB of RAM though :/

I haven't experienced any stability issues or crashes as of yet, but some of the extensions don't work.

All in all it's a great start imo, but it definitely needs some work
