> it's not for developers. What? Who is it for then?
Mostly for SV startup folks. In other words: Apple fanboys. Jokes aside, the US is notoriously dominated by Apple, but it's not the same worldwide.
i've heared about Zed for a long time and it seems promising but as long as it's not on windows/linux it's not for developers.
Ah yes windows, the classic developer OS.

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…
How do you get a reasonably fancy Emacs to start up/open files quickly? Every time I try to get into EMacs after adding a few packages it becomes painfully slow to open a file for editing. Then I try to understand Emacs server, then I fail / give up and go back to vim.

Hey! Engineer at Zed here. Linux port is on our roadmap. Hopefully we'll get it done this year!
What kind of help do you need to make this happen?
so, my strong suspicion is that porting gpui is the long pole, since it is apparently just going to do its own gui toolkit
I am just wondered, how many lines of codes people writes every day, that code-editor speed is so important?
I dont think is much about how much you write, is more like your brain consciously and subconsciously keep track of how enjoyable/frustrating is to any use any given tool (or perform any given action), for developers that includes the code editor, and some developers percieve speed as one of the most important features to make it enjoyable
That's great news. I actually like their zed font [1] which is custom-built from Iosevka. [2]. [1] https://github.com/zed-industries/zed-fonts [2] https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka

I was particularly looking for collaborative editing; two people editing the same file at once and each has a local copy of the file so they can run the code. Perhaps one could use a normal editor for this if there were some underlying command-line tool and/or plugin to do the actual file synchronization. Do you know of any?

The dev profession is notoriously dominated by Apple. It’s weird to say that something that’s only for Mac is not for developers.
