Crusty VS Code cursor Poll: would you switch to a clean, Mac-native AI editor?

Hey HN,I’m tired of VS Code’s Electron baggage and crusty cursor/UI quirks on macOS—stuttery caret animation, non-native feel, endless web-tech overhead. Before I dive into building a SwiftUI-based, native macOS text editor with built-in AI (code completion, refactoring, natural-language commands, etc.), I want to see if others share the pain:Are you annoyed by VS Code’s cursor lag or UI inconsistencies on Mac?Would you switch to a native app if it matched VS Code’s extensions and AI power?

Hi HN, I’m Ben, founder of K-Scale Labs (YC W24).Last year, I wanted to buy a humanoid robot that I could hack on, but the few options for sale were either too expensive, proprietary, or had a limited SDK.
