The appeal here is familiarity in places where a full desktop editor is awkward. The key decision is not features, but how comfortably it fits an existing terminal workflow.

How does it compare performance wise? Feature parity? Can you spawn shells in the terminal pane or is there no terminal pane and you're expected to being your own multiplexer?

I got excited that it's like TurboPascal, but this is basically VS Code over RDP (uses video streaming over kitty protocol).

That's exactly what I am looking for several years. Because VSCode is a bit slow via RDP or X11 Remote. I will try it out when I'm back at work.

Why? This just embeds electron and shoves it into the terminal instead of the native frontend. All the same downsides of Electron with practically little to no upside other than the same folks who ruined the web are now ruining the terminal.
