SSH Remoting

Also works well in vscode. Just wish the remote instance would keep running forever. Currently it's only a few hours it seems. Then one needs to reopen the workspace window.

I tried to use Zed but the text rendering on macOS was so painful that I didn't get far. Hopefully they'll address so I can give it another go in the future.

Is somewhere a comparison of Zed to Visual Studio Code?

for a start, zed doesn't work on Windows. I'm not exactly a fan of MSFT but at work, I must use Windows...

I also switch between a lot of computers (work computer at home/work computer at work) but have to develop on "big powerful machine at work". My current solution is tmux + nvim and it works really good. I can just pickup a session from whatever computer I'm in front of at the moment.

Am I correct in that neither Zed nor VS Code support this usecase yet?

I don't use code editors, but when we had an issue with ssh sessions hanging, it was always coworkers that were using vscode and connecting something up with that.

Man, just ssh through the terminal like a normal person and transfer files with git.

Caveat emptor: "Zed downloads NodeJS binary and npm packages from Internet without user’s consent"[1]

This has been an open issue for 5 months. When I noticed it, I couldn't believe my eyes and it was the last time I've run Zed so far. Judge for yourself whether this is a deal-breaker for you; I wish I had known about it earlier.

I switched to Zed for C, C++, Rust, Angular, and am extremely happy with it. I use it with it's vim mode, which is very good.

For the record, I've tried the JetBrains suite for at least a year, vscode, vim, neovim, visual studio (windows), qtcreator, and at least one more I dont remember. Zed is superior for everyday coding, for me.

The only thing it lacks is debugging, so I can't use it for C#, but I also can't use vscode for C# so that's understandable.

And man, its so snappy.
