Zed used to be a good editor but it is increasingly LLM infested.

It was always going to be infested with something or other, you don't raise $42M for just a text editor. Could be worse, a few years earlier it probably would have incorporated blockchains somehow.

I just installed it and it seems changing mode is unsupported? I can't figure out how to switch to plan mode.

I think the article mentions this not yet being supported by the SDK, and therefore by the editor.

Ah, if it is using the SDK, that is a big limitation. The SDK is nice, but it is meant to provide support for backend use of Claude Code, not integrating an interactive session.

Zed is so great, I do wish they would focus just a little bit more on bringing the UI just a bit more up to parity with VS Code, I would switch full time.

What do you feel is missing from the UI?

I feel like the UI is not as smooth as VSCode. There is a slight lag when scrolling.

I know what you mean. I used to like Emacs but then they added syntax highlighting for Rust and I don't use Rust so I'll never touch that editor ever again.

The deal breaker for me was when they introduced support for the "delete" key. A real developer should get it right the first time.
