### What we like

Pick between VSCode, vim, or emacs editor style. Has a full window manager with terminal and multiplexer built in. Each environment can connect to others through a built-in e2e encrypted network. Works with AI agents. Natively GPU accelerated.

### Tradeoffs

Not all languages at the same level of support e.g. Go, Python are Tier 1, but TypeScript is still in development.
