dope work. hopefully this release - fixes the occasional freeze that happens on Mac-os.
I use Zed as my daily driver - I'm happy with it - besides the occasional freeze.

Re: Zed 1.0
#682Congrats! My daily driver is Zed developing on SSH remote servers on exe.dev. It's crazy to think of all the dev tools I've churned through over the last 18 months but these two feel sticky. Zed has everything I need in a unified pane. File editor, terminal, agents, SSH remotes. And it's fast and intuitive exe.dev is the first "dev container" I've ever *loved*. The remote sandbox means `dangerously-skip-permissions`…
I wish it had a built-in SQL browser, in PyCharm and PHPStorm I find that very convenient. I find standalone ones disappointing.

Is Zed open source or not? If it's open source it can't have a license agreement to use the software itself Or is this an agreement to use some cloud service? Supposedly you can opt to not use it Elsewhere people said that "even if you disable telemetry, Zed can still collect telemetry" but, it being open source means you're still in control No open source license can force you to run misfeatures

so something that 95% of the users of Zed will end up doing? You're arguing this is a good thing because there is a "choice" in how the company gets to fuck you over?

Go look at any large project, they have 500+/1000+ issues and many are ancient. Chrome, Firefox, you name it. I wouldn't be surprised if many issues have even been solved or need new reproduction steps but there's a difficulty to triaging all the issues as well.
> I wouldn't be surprised if many issues have even been solved or need new reproduction steps All the ones I'm subscribed to are straight-up feature gaps versus competing IDEs. Though of course, there is significant selection bias to my subscriptions
Yeah I can see that. I probably wouldn't be subscribing to issues that weren't feature requests/gaps very often. Ones that are tied to bugs are the only others that come to mind that I'd subscribe to but just thinking about my own dev experience in various jobs and how even there our internal backlogs of issues would have unclosed, out of date stuff, I think some portion of issues in public projects would be too.
Re: Zed 1.0
#686zed is very awesome!!
Re: Zed 1.0
#687I loved Zed for a few years - but their insistence on not letting Claude Code use Zed as an external editor forced me to build my own IDE.
This turned out to be pretty awesome because I built something completely customized to my workflow and it has increased my productivity by several factors.

If you do not understand how the underlying language server is configured, what the input and outputs are, how it operates, you will run into errors you are unequipped to deal with. Some languages are more severe than others on this. For example, in C++ your editor is not going to be able to make efficient use of the clangd language server without intervention from the programmer to understand and configure it. On th…
What's so special about clangd? I only had to silence a couple of unneeded warnings specific to codebase I was working with, which took under five minutes and that only because I finally got annoyed enough. Otherwise it took zero configuration (this was Kate though, but it doesn't matter, there is no clangd-specific default config there).
Basically that clangd needs an accurate compilation database to consume, which isn't a requirement for other language spaces.

Not sure what you assume I said or argued. Grandparent wrote a question about how can an open source project have ToS (which is a totally legitimate question if they think that the ToS are for the open source project) and I copy pasted the response of somebody from zed team that says that the ToS are about the subscription services only.
The data related part of the ToS for the subscription are the most basic thing you would expect in a standard data processing agreement type of ToS where you have somebody else process your data on your behalf. I don't see any "fuck you over" in them.

The comment above has started a sh-tstorm. Please, slow down and learn about the details before jumping to conclusions. Most of us here did NOT "go pro" in the law.

If you need an education in law to be able to trust a business isn't trying to steal from you, then maybe you just shouldn't trust that business at all. Especially for something like a code editor, where plenty of less-shady competitors are available.

On what basis are you claiming Zed is shady? I seek evidence, not feels.
If you don't understand the contract language, it seems rather presumptuous to make that kind of claim. See what I mean?
If you want to make a _relative_ claim, then I have to ask: have you read the licenses of VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, WindSurf?
