You know the AI craze is real when adding chat gpt-4 to a text editor is higher priority than Linux and/or Windows support
The explain it in the 6th question on https://zed.dev/faq

It’s likely that Zed does not want users, or wants specific kind of users as this stage of their company maturity. Mac developer is a proxy for the user type Zed is probably aiming to sell service: Western, wealthy, senior. Whileas Windows users are everyone and their uncle. Scaling to large userbase does not make sense if they are not going to pay for your product.
I'm just sour about lack of Linux support, it's like I'm in 1998 again except now instead of Microsoft Windows ignoring us it's Apple macOS. A WINE like project for macOS software would be great
Such functionality would be wildly useful for both remote development and pairing, dev containers etc.
Instead I'll have to stick with VS Code remote develop + live share, of which the latter feels like a monkey patched afterthought.
I hope this leads to Zed being ported to other platforms (Linux, please!)
I'm generally a big fan of zed and have been using it for 60%ish of my dev time for 6 months or so. A couple of nice things to note: - It really is remarkably responsive,and makes one really notice how UNresponsive everything else is. I have reasonably fast machines, so we're not talking about the difference between 5ms typing lag and 500ms, but it's still pretty surprising. VSCode never felt slow on my macs until I…

It does https://docs.zed.dev/general/vim . The support seems limited however, for example 'L' or 'H' movement does not seem to be supported.
What do you mean? "L" and "H" do move the cursor right and left for me just fine. It does not have macro recording/playback or extended commands though so it's not a full fledged vim emulation mode unfortunately.

> respond to your keystrokes on the next display refresh Claimed insertion latency for a keystroke: - zed 58ms - subl 75ms - vscode 97ms - clion 83ms 60 Hz displays refresh once every ~16.6ms. 58ms to insert a character is ~3.5 frames. My laptop can do 120 Hz, and other monitors can even do 300 Hz. Yeah, it's a lot faster than the other editors, but 58ms seems really slow - definitely not "next display refresh". All…
I'm interested to know what people's insertion latency is on Neovim with similar IDE-like plugins, and LSP and Copilot running.
I personally don't like for my editor to send out any kind of external requests at all, and this is actually what keeps me on vim as my main editor. I also don't like limited login options
It would be cool to have a version that's just a stripped down Zed, and if need be you can install the extra stuff as plugins.
