Could you build this?
Partial A basic macOS editor with run-and-console, Git, and SSH can be vibe-coded using existing libraries. A production-quality editor with robust text handling, language servers, and performance is much harder.
What it would actually take: A solid version needs a native text engine (e.g., AppKit with a performant buffer or a library like CodeMirror or Monaco wrapped in a native shell), tree-sitter syntax highlighting, LSP integration per language, and a process runner with terminal emulation. The hardest parts are editor performance and correctness, plus robust Git and SSH handling, which require experienced desktop-app engineers.
