Lapce vs Microsoft Editor

Lapce is an open-source code editor written in Rust, available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It uses a native graphical interface with GPU acceleration through Floem. For code intelligence, it combines Tree-sitter syntax highlighting with Language Server Protocol support for completion, diagnostics, and code actions. Developers can connect to a remote machine to work in an environment matching a production server, and the included terminal opens at the workspace path. The editor has built-in Vim-like modal editing and supports multiple cursors. Plugins can be written in any programming language that compiles to WASI, and the editor supports extensions. Downloads include Linux tar.gz builds for x86 and ARM, Windows system installer and portable x86 builds, and a universal macOS DMG. The product page displays version 0.4.2. Its documentation covers setup, settings, keybindings, modal editing, remote development, themes, terminal use, multiple cursors, syntax highlighting, and plugin development. The About page says Lapdev is maintained by the Lapce team and describes Lapce and Floem as open-source projects.

Microsoft Editor checks spelling, grammar, capitalization, and punctuation, with additional suggestions for clarity, conciseness, and formality. It is available as a browser extension and in Word and Outlook, including Word for the web and the desktop app. Editor provides basic writing guidance in more than 20 languages and spelling suggestions in more than 80; users can spell-check up to three languages at once. Its similarity checker can find document content resembling online text and help cite the original source. A free grammar checker covers basic spelling and grammar, while premium features are included with Microsoft 365 and are not sold separately as Editor premium. Microsoft 365 Personal and Family offers on the Editor page include a free one-month trial. Personal costs $9.99 a month, billed monthly; Family costs $12.99 a month, billed monthly. For spelling and grammar checks in Edge, typed text is processed by a Microsoft cloud service and deleted afterward; Basic spellcheck in Edge checks locally instead.
