ST is a text editor while Zed is an IDE. I wish there were something like VSCode that is very modular but written in native. But VSCode is good enough and it is my daily driver.

In Zed, you need to write a full blown plugin, and can change only what the Zed authors exposed through their plugin API.
Does the editor have an "absolutely no AI crap" version? Also, it says that it uses WSL, but i do not use it. I use Git bash instead. Is it supported? (I'm asking instead of finding out myself because of the little interest I have in this editor)

It is, based on Stack Overflow survey: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technology#most-popular... Couldn't find a way to access Statista report. It obviously varies a lot by the preferred languages, but Windows is still at the top, on average.
I hope you realize that Linux in this table is split up into many individual options where the others are not, i.e. that Ubuntu, Debian, Arch etc also all count towards Linux?

Sunshine and Moonlight are no more than accelerated and finely tuned VNC servers that happen to be targeted at gaming. You can totally set them up as a regular remote desktop solution.

For those on Windows, which is the topic at hand, UltraEdit and Notepad++. I disagree Zed is an IDE, it is quite far from InteliJ, Borland/Embarcadero, VS, XCode, Eclipse, Netbeans... If it is about adding enough plugins until it eventually becomes one, then any programmer's editor is an IDE.
My line is - if I can compile, run and debug my program through the editor UI instead of a terminal, it's an IDE.

You literally can’t tell the difference in a 20ms delay. That is an order of magnitude lower than the neural feedback loop latency. You may think that you can, but studies don’t back this up.
I don't have to think a full thought for every keystroke.

This is one of those things that make me question whether I experience the world fundamentally differently than many of you. I have never, ever felt “latency” in editor UI. Any editor UI. It’s editing text for Pete’s sake. I can only type so fast, or read so fast.
Have you ever used a display running over 60hz refresh rate?

As I said, then any programmer editor is an IDE, including UltraEdit and Notepad++.

You probably do. Many people just never notice that. It's not about typing or reading fast either, it's just about how it feels. Typing into something with shitty latency feels like dragging my fingernails across a chalkboard. It's the same with high dpi monitors. Some people (me included) are driven absolutely insane by the font rendering on low density monitors, and other people don't even notice a difference. Hone…
Low-dpi font rendering also isn’t an issue for me, unless it is so bad as to be illegible (which no modern system is).
We really do perceive things differently.

RAM is not cheap. Executables live in RAM when running.
No, they're mmapped to RAM. Only the pages that get used are loaded to RAM.
