Man, it's such a shame that you pivoted away from the canvas-based editor concept, it was such a pleasure to use, it's so much better than tabs.

It's still probably the best tool to navigate, visualize and understand complex codebases, which is particularly important now with AI coded repos. I keep looking for alternatives but they are all notably worse.

About a month ago I spent a few frustrating hours building it from source for my system and making it work, and I've enjoyed using it as my main IDE since.

I wish I had the time to make a fork and bring in a newer version of VSCode. If anyone takes it up I might help at least.
