I wish someone integrate qwen-coder as well
I actually works already, just add new agent definition:
--- "Local QWEN": { "command": "/usr/local/bin/qwen", "args": [ "--experimental-acp" ], "env": {} }, ---
Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed

#82I am sure Zed is great and I appreciate the effort put in to create it, but nowadays I just cannot imagine switching from VSCode to something else. In my limited understanding, none of the existing alternatives offer anything (and often misses at least something) truly innovative or anything else that VSCode extension wouldn't solve. On VSCode I have about 15 different profiles setup, each with different settings and…
I had to use VSCode for some projects in the past because it was what was available on the clients workstations... I can't imagine having to use that laggy electron abomination all the time. For me Zed is sent from heaven, because my previously preferred editor (geany) hast basically zero developtment nowadays.
I normally care a ton about latency and in the main project I work on I put extreme focus on reducing input latency in text input fields, but...
I've used VS Code for ages. I tried Zed. I don't really feel a difference. It's smoother but VS Code is more than smooth enough for me and has tons of features I rely on that don't exist in dev.
Meanwhile, when I tried Ghostty I noticed a significant improvement in "typefeel" compared to iTerm. So I'm not immune to detecting such a difference.
I will try Zed again though.

I switched to Neovim a year ago, and while I did spend a significant amount of time on configuring it, I haven't touched my config for months now - and I'm perfectly happy with it. There's things I can improve, but it does what I want.

#84Earlier quoted context omitted.
It uses a fraction of the memory of VS Code and is much faster to launch.
Zed still takes a relatively long time to start on my old desktop. I thought something was wrong but no, it is just THAT slow. Emacs starts up faster than an empty Zed window, unfortunately. It is still way faster than IntelliJ but comparing it to that is a low bar. VSCodium starts up faster for me than Zed which I compiled yesterday with release mode. Here I am referring to the time spent just on waiting for the win…
I'm not a Zed developer, but I'm pretty sure LSP interfaces are pretty much standardized now, in large part to VS Code's efforts, so they're pretty consistent across most editors that support them.
That doesn't mean Zed will have all the other extensions that VS Code has... Recently added the new SQL Server extension(s) and it's been at least interesting, in a way slightly better than using SMMS. It's pretty much burrowing the UI from Azure Data Studio (or whatever it was called). Haven't tried similar for PG/SQLite etc yet.

#85Recently I set up a virtual machine running GNU/Linux on Windows, so that I can continue to use Emacs and all my usual tools for developing software, while I am waiting for a friend to make a move in a turn based game. I decided to give Doom Emacs a try. Well, I like the keybindings so far. However, it got issues. When I use neotree, it gets confused with windows (the Emacs term "window", not desktop windows, or the…
I recently un-borked my emacs config and re-downloaded elisp into my brain so I'd be happy to help walking you through the emacs stuff. I haven't used emacs on Windows natively in a long time but I did it for years and found it worked quite well so you may want to try that again. FWIW emacs these days has native LSP support (eglot) and native tree-sitter supported, but you'll need to grab tree-sitter libraries and LS…
I mean, I am using standard Emacs daily for some 8y or so. It is just in that VM, that tried Doom Emacs, which crashed twice. Normal Emacs doesn't do that to me. And since I have the VM, I also don't need Emacs on Windows. The VM runs just fine.
That VM runs a Fedora OS and has vanilla Doom Emacs installed, with a few packages activated in the doom config. So it is about as vanilla doom Emacs as it gets.

#86I tried so many times to switch but I’ve reached a conclusion that Zed sucks. It doesn’t even properly support Python out of the box. UI is crap.
Re: Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed
#87Zed lacks an ecosystem for plugins, which is a huge drawback for me. The native debugging UX is cool, but I can get this w/ my VSCode plugins.

What do you feel is missing from the UI?
Top of my head switching between IntelliJ and Zed: - Git UI is extremely barebones with no support for other VCS - No merge tool or side-by-side diffs - Configuration is all JSON - Would be nice having a full file tree for the search editor instead of just the list; having the functionality split between a tab and the outline panel is quite clunky. - Ability to move panels (files/git/console/debugger/etc) into standa…
> Configuration is all JSON
Curious as someone dabbling with building an editor: what do you prefer? A different configuration language? A GUI? How do you save and sync settings? Just with JetBrains account sync?
> Ability to move panels (files/git/console/debugger/etc) into standalone windows
Is Zed's "zoom in" feature (shift-escape) that quickly maximises the active pane (excluding the file browser/git pane) enough? Or are you looking for the separate window experience of IntelliJ? (e.g. JetBrains lets you pop-out the commit window, I believe, which can be nice since once you close it you're back in the editor with nothing to switch or rearrange.)

I am sure some would have said the same about why would anyone switch to using Linux when there was Microsoft Windows.
