Why develop this when the core editor is almost unusable? On Linux wayland, copypaste is broken, the file manager is laggy and snippets do not trigger before the heavy hint logic is done. This is just on top of my head, the list is long
I use it as a daily driver with few if any problems, but I'm on macOS. Maybe their Linux support is particularly crappy?

> when the core editor is almost unusable Shit, as someone who uses Zed everyday, I didn't realize what I am using is unusable.

It supports anything with ACP. So it can actually run Codex and Claude Code, not just the Zed Agent. Looks like omp supports ACP, so all you have to do is specify a Custom Agent in Zed and it should just work. https://omp.sh/docs/acp https://zed.dev/docs/ai/external-agents
This is the killer Zed feature, IMO, that they support almost any agent via extensions. I deleted Cursor but still use the agent via Zed because it’s a lot nicer experience, Zed never had popups telling me Grok is half off. I also use OpenRouter and Zed.dev with it, that’s three providers out of dozens that it supports.
A lot of the copy on this page feels like the kind of copy an AI would produce. But I’m assuming, surely, Zed writes their own copy so I don’t want to accuse them of doing that. Marketing aside, this is the kind of thing (advancements in VCSes) that I’d usually be excited about, but which I’m less excited about coming from Zed because it makes me start to worry that they’re going to continue focussing less on the cor…
You're too kind. It's obviously AI copy, and a huge negative signal (to me, anyway).
I'm also starting to wonder how much real, human-made copy is mimicking AI-created copy that has been filling marketing pages as of late. When people make marketing websites, they often riff and rip off other websites' (à la "Good artists copy; great artists steal"[0]) design ideas and language -- I wouldn't be surprised if there are humans now inadvertently adopting LLM's writing style like that.

Once I've tried one SCM to track every single change to my files, and the other for bulk commits. The result was quite satisfying.
It was some 15 years ago, we just switched from CVS to SVN and everyone thought it was the end of the history, at least for SCMs. Main branch was called master, and we were locking files by simply telling our teammates not to touch them.
At one time I decided I really missed the Eclipse feature which was tracking all local changes to the files, even without an active SCM. Making tiny commits was not an option, because I want it to track every file save, and we haven't yet figured out working with branches.
So I decided to install mercurial and made a hook which made a dummy commit every time I saved a file. Everything mercurial related was ignored by SVN.
Suddenly I was able to teleport myself to a version from before the lunch while SVN history was crystal clear.
Somehow I still miss integrated, per file, timeline in IDE.
Zed should focus on basics. When it focuses on basics Zed is good. https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/54150 failing to show newly created files and declining to provide a refresh button, instead adding a polling backend, breaks Zed on WSL. Why a new version control system? Why not git, jj, or another existing system?

There should be a concept called "engineering privilege". I see some companies do things that are widely out of their core product and engineers there just having fun with a bunch of different stuff with seemingly no commitment to bring in revenue. They'll re-invent/re-write things constantly, write a new compiler/package manager for their chosen language, create new frameworks, new open source projects unrelated to…

Just installed it, works on my kde and niri setups (I logged out and switched to each), copy paste works as well. File manager laggi-ness I didn't notice I don't use it, I use it mostly to type stuff out. I have never used snippets so unsure about that too, going from command bar seemed to work. I think it might be bad, but could also be it's not correctly configured maybe try asking codex/claude or something to chec…
The copy-paste bug manifests itself after some time and the bug is silent.
