This yeah I'm switching from JetBrains to Zed after being with them nearly 10 years now. I just can't justify my yearly subscription now that they've bundled AI that I can't justify paying for if I can just use Claude Code directly. At least Zed has richer Claude Code integration than JetBrains. If I even bother to renew it will be only if they announce something worth my while.

#22I would have switched in a pinch if Zed had their low-DPI font rendering in order. At the moment it just looks bad.
Mind explaining how / why you have a low DPI monitor? I haven't even seen one in maybe a decade.

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
How is it broken? I'm looking at it working fine right now.
Not GP, but he's absolutely right, it's been pissing me off for years now. Only thing I can remember off the top of my head is nested selectors still not highlighting properly. They partially fixed this a few months ago but that's it. I guess we're all waiting on GHCP to prioritize and fix it now?
nested is the main one, however i remember cases where a rule couldn't be parsed and the rest of the file went fuckidy
this is pathetic, and really shows how much of a shitter css tooling currently resides in

#25Does Zed have something similar to VSCode Dev Containers ? That is one of the few things keeping me going on VSCode. For example, I frequently write Ansible playbooks. And with VSCode you can just fire up the Ansible-provided Dev Container with all the dependencies. Which means you don't have to clutter up your local system with them.

They seem to be working on it, but so far it's only available in preview builds? https://zed.dev/docs/dev-containers

#30An easy switch for an individual, for an organization the ecosystem is typically too much to give up. Hopefully this changes in a few years.
Organizations are composed of individuals, if your organization is tied to a specific IDE to be able to function, that seems like a huge problem.
Ecosystem.
