Great idea having a Rust editor fully open-source, and I also saw the GPUI crate in the codebase. Happy to try it! P.S. For the first 5 minutes I thought Zed was developed by Meta... please change that blue :D P.S.S: it's incredibly fast, and already has rust-analyzer included.
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…
I’m really picky about my tools in general and latency in particular, and I give Zed a spin from time to time, it’s sweet. Clean, minimal design aesthetic, tree-sitter, tight code, it’s a nice bit of work and I dig it a lot. But emacs 29 with the right flags and a tuned GC (no one does this! it’s got a heap-size from the 80s!) is just as snappy and has more amazing packages than VSCode. There’s a market for people wh…

Most westerners I've spoken to think that even when a Western government does bad, there's probably good intentions behind it or at least more noble than any non-Western government. On the flip side, even if you believe that, there's an argument to be made that if you live in the West then the Russians/Chinese care way less about you than the Five Eyes.
I mean, it’s been at least a few decades since my home country started it’s latest war. It’s not that it’s non-western, it’s just that the countries I don’t trust are mostly dictatorships or something very close to it.

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

Heard of Helix? It's a bit more Vim to Zed's VSCode, but it's open source and Rust too! It also comes with rust-analyzer and tree-sitter included. https://github.com/helix-editor/helix
