On one hand it has treesitter and has a builtin optional modal mode with Vim shortcuts. On the other hand it is VSCode. On the side above it, it is a terminal application. And one more side is, it is written in Rust. Cursed, through and through.

On a more serious note, this is more than just an alternative. Its the bridge between VSCode people and those who want to try working in a terminal. I think this is actually a really good idea.
