What does this have to do with Tauri? Besides, that's apples to oranges. Zed has a lot more features, if you don't want that then Sublime is a better pick.

Not @OP but I imagine they are thinking: “because Zed is built on top of Tauri and Sublime Text is not.” Sublime Text’s user interface is built on top of a mix of (native) UI renderers for each major OS [1], mostly based on Google’s 2D graphics library: Skia https://skia.org/ . Recent versions (v3) go even lower: Vulkan and OpenGL https://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/hardware-accelerat...

EDIT: I stand corrected, Zed does not use Tauri (anymore?) but instead gpui ( https://www.gpui.rs ) as seen in their Cargo.toml file → https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/Cargo.toml#L...


Doesn't zed use gpui?


Wait, what, Zed is Tauri? How? One of their main things was that they implemented the UI layer completely from scratch using their own GPU-accelerated rendering engine. It's got none of that browser-type stuff.
