It's SO BAD when people say ":just pipe this shell script to bash!" for their installers. I just can't take those projects seriously if they think that's acceptable.

If you run xeyes and the eyes follow your cursor when it's above the application you want to test, it's running under xwayland. If they don't follow your cursor, the application is running under native Wayland.
finally a use for xeyes?

Yep that helps a ton, thanks. Now it behaves more like nvim, and cursors around much faster - $ time vim -c 'syn off' tt.json real 0m3.277s user 0m1.690s sys 0m0.349s
Interesting. I expected it to be near instant without syntax highlighting but it's still slow.

new more realistic example: time vim -c 'syn off' .txt vim -c 'syn off' .txt 0.41s user 0.20s system 32% cpu 1.848 total

Here is my first, pre edit, example which is invalid. The file was a zip and my install of vim was not opening as text or binary

I don't see any way to monetize a free text editor but I see that they're hiring and also hired talented devs like Thorsten Ball already. What's the business model here?
From their FAQ: We envision Zed as a free-to-use editor, supplemented by subscription-based, optional network features, such as: Channels and calls Chat Channel notes We plan to allow offer our collaboration features to open source teams, free of charge. https://zed.dev/faq#how-will-you-make-money

This makes me want to use Helix, because while I love the idea of a terminal editor, I'm not the kind of person to whittle away a day screwing around with my config files.
Helix has been stalled for a few months, and there are issues that make it frustrating to use at times. For example, :Ex and friends have been relegated to the plugin system (the root cause of the stall, it hasn't been merged). I still prefer it to the config overhead of nvim (as well as the kakoune-style movements!), but the paper cuts have hit a threshold and I've started writing my own text editor (I'd probably us…
However silly it is, I've always hated the aesthetics of VS Code. I know it's themeable but despite that the overall look and feel just isn't right on MacOS or Linux. That side bar drives me crazy. I find that out-of-the-box Zed is much prettier and feels more native than VS Code. But for a tool that we spend hours using each day, how it looks and makes you feel really matters. I am enjoying experimenting with Zed. I…
The first thing I do on any VS Code fresh install is to switch the sidebar to the right. Pure heresy for many people, I know. But I want my eyes to naturally land on code, not on a file tree.

A few weeks ago I had this giant json text blob to debug. I tried Gedit first, and it just fell over completely. Tried vim next, and it was for some reason extremely slow too, which surprised me. VSCode loaded it nearly immediately and didn't hang when moving around the file. I have my complaints about VSCode, but speed definitely isn't one of them.
I believe VsCode has told me several times that the file i want to open is too big.

Man, what kinda of QA do they have that they miss something like this? WSL can be considered the second largest Linux "distro". Of course, zed has always felt like an osx first project with linux/windows being second class citizen.
