I would switch over to Zed for all my non-JVM needs if only it would have a debugger support. Currently it's filling a role of a text editor pretty well though.

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.

Such is life using macos on low dpi screen. A lot of apps render blurry texts :(

It was definitely a lot worse than any other application I use on a 1440p 27-inch screen.

I tried to use zeds SSH remoting for a work project. Typescript with big codebase and sadly the performance is a rollercoaster. Types sometimes load so slow that it's unusable. VSCode remote doesn't seem to have this problem, although I'm not sure yet if it's really just a zed problem. I would need to try it with some more isolated use-case. Still happy to see the progress! I switched to zed for a lot of my private dev work already

I cant wait to switch to something like Zed. VS Code can take up half of my memory and keeps crashing after updates. How much language support is there for Go?

I switched from Goland to Zed. Works really well. Only missing debugger support... After that it would be perfect for my usage :)

I recently tried to use SSH remote editing with VSCode on a plane. It is so incredibly chatty that the in-flight wifi system thought I was trying to tunnel traffic via SSH and kept killing the connection. I hope the Zed developers have taken bandwidth minimization into account.

You were tunneling traffic through SSH :P

Those who do not understand Emacs are doomed to repeat it. Poorly, in worse languages. —C.S. Santayana

Emacs TRAMP mode has been doing this for 26 years, since November 1998. Fashions come, and fashions go, and Emacs remains. Anyone remember Atom? Anyone remember TextMate?

Just use vi or Emacs.

I really wish there was a good alternative to vscode for remote debugpy

Same. I don't like VSCode, but debugpy is, for me, a killer feature for which I'd pay if I had to.

I was told that pythons repl was equivalent or as good as Common Lisp/Clojure, and it doesn't even look like it has a networked repl without third party code.

I now wonder if pythons repl experience isnt even close to lisp likes.

This is answered in their FAQ: https://zed.dev/faq : We envision Zed as a free-to-use editor, supplemented by subscription-based, optional network features, such as: Channels and calls Chat Channel notes We plan to offer our collaboration features to open source teams, free of charge.

That’s the thing. Whatever editor I finally migrate from neovim to I’ll likely donate to. I get so much insane value from open source and companies building for the platforms that I use that I’m happy to pay for them especially for small shops of really passionate hackers like the folks behind Zed.

You can donate to neovim too ;)

I don't have much hope in anything replacing it for me. Zed does a lot right but feels very very far away and with a weird focus (from my perspective).
