For example, https://imgur.com/a/ia2GCgg -- top is VSCode, bottom is Zed. Both using Svelte, and using a similar theme.
- Angle brackets are a different color
- Capitalized built-in components are a different color
- Boolean props are a different color
- Brackets are colored differently than text.
The inspector is a game changer, clicking into these specific things in the preview they provide is super helpful.
The theme builder is good and easy to use, and I only needed a few minutes to make my own.
Syntax coloring is almost there, but still lacking (I use C/C++) Small visual adjustment like line height in the UI text is not configurable enough (only two settings)
Scrolling should have a smooth option, nothing prevents it, it should be super easy to add, I find it easier on the eyes when I move around code, especially on a 240Hz monitor.
The editing experience is good, quick launch, no crashes, responsive, not too memory hungry.
The defaults all feel very low contrast, gray on gray that makes the experience feel dull and off putting to me, even if the editor itself is great.
