I think the only thing that is really outstanding for Windows is SSH support.
Everything largely "just works" and my experience getting a plugin with syntax highlighting working and merged for a DSL I maintain was very smooth.
i'm fairly surprised that i fired it up, wrote some go code, and the lsp worked. I too am growing tired of tinkering and want minimal configs. So much so that I had to force myself to stop using doom emacs in favor of neovim. Neovim setup is much simpler now that lua exists but i'd rather not tinker as much as I do. Enabling/Disabling plugins is fun in a way when you wanna take the time to do that. I might give zed a…
The tab completion for the AI suggestions is 100% the most annoying feature I've ever used. I just want to indent my line and not have to keep hitting escape 1000 times. Awful.
I’ve been using Sublime Text for more than a decade and I gave Zed a try recently. I don’t have good reasons like the author, but I kinda wanted to see what the hype was about. I really liked everything about it including the much better LSP support and the base key map for Sublime Text was very close so I felt at home quickly. Then I tried actually writing code in my usual workflow and this is where things started t…
I don't know if I'm an AI fanboi or not, but for generating things like factorygirl definitions and simple rspec unit tests, GPT is seriously good (in the sense that it saves me tedious work, not that it is particularly fantastic).
And it never crashed on me, unlike VSCode which reminds me of Windows 3.1.

I use cursor and vim now. I have been on vim for 15+ years. Are there LLM extensions that make vim work like all these new AI editors? I would prefer to stay in 100% vim world, but the productivity benefits from LLMs with composer mode and context is so powerful.
Zed doesn't run in terminal, sadly. That's the one reason I actually did end up using vim, even if Gui editors are theoretically highly superior. It's always there in the terminal with me. So you know how it goes, you set up $awesome_ide on a separate screen or what have you; start messing in the terminal, and then for quick edits you grab vim anyway. And once you have the whole edit/test/edit/test loop going, well,…
