Funny how Zed's tagline is Love your editor again Zed is a minimal code editor crafted for speed and collaboration with humans and AI. At home, I don't use any AI when coding, to keep my brain sharp. But it's clear that Zed's focus is on AI integration because that's where the money's going (seriously, where is the setting to have a different ui icon size vs ui font size). Is there any editor still being being develo…

ah I forgot a word, I meant the ui icon size. If I bump up the ui font size so that I can distinguish the icons apart on my large monitor, the ui text becomes comically large. I do use Zed without AI features, it's just a bit of a disappointment (though understandable) since it was originally marketed as just a nice speedy editor.
It's still a nice speedy editor. It didn't lose any features to make room for AI Is Zed lacking any feature you need?
I end up doing things in the terminal tab because its faster than the ui or is more clear.
The basics are good but thats about it.

> But it's clear that Zed's focus is on AI integration because that's where the money's going Do you really think Zed's focus on AI is just about money? You do realize software engineering is in the midst of a tectonic shift?
Yes? Legitimately curious what other explanation is there here, thats the reason all of these LLM integrations across all software is being pushed.
Yesterday, I determined to move to Zed because they weren't pushing this stuff :(
Edit: Although I can integrate an agent in NeoVim, I don’t do it. I want to use my editor solely for that purpose, while the rest (versioning, agentic coding, git client, etc.) is done in the terminal. My NeoVim setup is simple and fast, which is why I prefer it over any other IDE or editor. Especially with the native package manager in the latest version. I also replaced BBEdit by installing Neovide, a GUI version of NeoVim. It starts in a split second and is incredibly smooth and fast. And it’s so enjoyable to work with that I use it as my preferred frontend to Obsidian.

Doesn't really count, but: https://gram.liten.app/
such a dark and gloomy quote as the mission statement.

A proper git implementation. I end up doing things in the terminal tab because its faster than the ui or is more clear. The basics are good but thats about it.
I'm buying into this workflow more the more I use it, but the real gamechanger is (a) parallel threads in worktrees, with (b) enough lifecycle hooks to treat them similarly to spinning up a VM. Specifically for me that means that after I create a worktree I get some local config files copied over and Postgres duplicating my local dev and test databases so I can test in isolation, and then when I close out a worktree…
I hope someday they get the funding they deserve, because it has insane potential. It's why I subscribe to their pay plan, even if I dont use it all the time, I want them to succeed.
