Best for

Developers who want a lightweight native editor with coding agents and no account or telemetry.

Why it deserves attention

Wu keeps Zed's native Rust foundation but trims the experience around a simpler, batteries-included editor: instant startup, a smaller memory footprint than VS Code and Zed, and built-in chat for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, requires no account, and sends no telemetry. The project is GPL-3.0-or-later, active daily, and small enough to shape around its own opinions. It is a young fork with only a few hundred GitHub stars, a much smaller extension ecosystem than Zed or VS Code, and it depends on upstream Zed for much of its foundation.
