Am I the only one who prefers stability instead of a constant rush of features in their text editors/IDEs? If it’s AI related I like them even less. I know I can stick forever with Vim, but damn, I tried Zed and it felt good.

Zed is amazing, and I definitely recommend it. That said, I will not be using their AI features, and if the editor turns into a slow, bloated monster because of them (like Visual Studio and anything made by JetBrains) I will have to ditch it.

I tried CoPilot a while and my biggest gripe was tab for accepting the suggestion. I very often got a ton of AI garbage when I was just trying to indent some code. Tab just doesn't seem like the proper interface for something like this.

Hey! Zed founder here. We totally agree with this and that's why Zed will switch the keybinding for accepting an edit prediction to `alt-tab` when the cursor is in the leading whitespace of a line. This way you can keep using `tab` for indenting in that situation. Also, when there's both an edit prediction and and LSP completion, Zed switches the keybinding to `alt-tab` to prevent the conflict with accepting an LSP c…

Is there way to change this key binding (tab for accept) right now? Because otherwise I have to stop using this program. It is absolutely obnoxious.

The sensitive readers please be advised, quite a bit of a rant and angry reactions coming in an overreacting style, please stop here if you are of the sensitive type. The comments are unrelated to this particular product but aimed at the universal approach of the broad topic nowadays. Zero intent of offending anyone specific person is attempted. I am fed up with all these predicting what I want to do. Badly!! Don't g…

Cursor's predictions work for me the vast majority of the time (far more so than Copilot+VSCode). Might be a language/framework dependent though.

As usual, AI has a higher priority than working on very basic stuff like creating a Windows build. If you guys want to compete with VSCode, think again.

I agree with your irritation, perhaps this link will help https://github.com/deevus/zed-windows-builds

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can definitely run more than one LSP with zed -- can you elaborate on the angular case that gives you trouble?

Sorry, in the same file as the sibling said. In some other editors, you can run multiple LSPs on the same exact file at the same exact time. A use case is Angular or other more specialized frameworks, that are so abstracted away and dumbed down that each layer of abstraction basically has an LSP.

Is that the case though? https://zed.dev/docs/configuring-languages#choosing-language...

Same here, I basically turned off all the auto-complete things everywhere in all the tools I am using, can't stand it. And just before reading your comment, I had a google doc I edited in the other tab and thought, how annoying are these auto suggestions actually. Not helping at all, instead a distraction (to me). For AI coding I'm using Aider as a docker container in the terminal in the IDE and I love it. I can writ…

Same. I also configured my editor not to show LSP diag unless I save. Something you can't do in Zed.
