Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This author was frustrated with bugs, slowness, and limited debugging features in VSCode. Specifically, slow debugging, a limited watch panel, and a lack of GDB integration led them to create their own text editor. Their new editor prioritizes debugger speed, flexible watch variables, and smooth performance with large files. It already includes core features like syntax highlighting, find functionality, and support for GDB and other debugging protocols.
