For what it's worth, other major code editors Jetbrains and VS Code also offer real-time collaboration built in. For Jetbrains, it's a paid feature. For VS Code, it's free. I love the VS Code implementation (haven't reviewed the other two). If I'm pairing with someone remotely, I don't have any issue having them download VS Code. We provide a config in our project repo for VS Code, so it's really quick for people to…

I do believe one can join collab sessions from https://vscode.dev/ as well? So no need to install anything, it runs well and officially in the browser And for those with installed VSCode they need to add the Live Share extension to get this functionality, it’s not built in from the start, but offered through that official extension? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MS-vsliv...

And you need to login using a Microsoft-account. Even if both computers are on the same LAN.

That part leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. Also debugging in a collaborative session has been broken for years now for us.

IntelliJ is much slower than any other editor including Zed and VsCode it's much slower to open and navigate, much slower to work with, much slower, it's so slow! but the code completion, refactoring, code navigation, and debugging features and endless other smart features are incredible. For me, that extra intelligence and code awareness boost translates to way faster development overall, even if the IDE itself takes a bit longer to load or work with or consumes huge amount of memory. Sometimes the smarts outweigh the raw speed.

The only reason why I dropped (and Im not alone) using Zed is the arcaic UI sublime-like search functionality. Please revisit that part because I really want to use ZED.

This is actually the first time I’ve seen someone unhappy with search - can you tell me a bit more what you are looking for? There is lots of room for improvement of course, but I’d love to hear what your desired search experience is.

When searching I get almost entire file snippets with the search content and scrolling through them would take forever. In comparison see Lazyvim or IntelliJ products search UI, (even vscode is OK, though it requires mouse a bit), you should be able to scroll through found lines, and while you do that you can see the surrounding context of the selected line.

> arcaic UI sublime-like search functionality. I've never used Zed, but Sublime is my primary editor specifically because of the incredible search functionality. What do you use that's better?

Lazyvim or pycharm search functionality. Even vscode is better in that regard, though it kinda requires using mouse. (I love sublime btw, except for searching)

Shoves ChatGPD with auto install of Node and what not else right up your throat. On top of that I can't install any extensions ...

Yeah ...

I'll stick with VScode, might be slow but works

I have an old Intel Mac Pro 2015, which slowly transitioned from my working laptop to a personal use laptop. I'm using VSCode there and it works fine. I mean I've never faced any slowdowns because of the VSCode.

I had a small project coming up and decided to try out Zed. As it's a native app I thought it would perform better than VSCode. But to my surprise it was not the case. The performance was actually worse.

And as for the TS integration, the overall experience is worse than on VSCode. The autocompletion works in a weird way, no way to just look at available methods, I have to start typing. It's just frustrating. I even decided to give another go to Sublime Text and it felt much better than Zed.

So Zed didn't work for me, but I'm sure it will work for somebody else.

I just want to point out that most keyboards hav a latency at 10-20 ms[1], so 1 ms is impossible. [1] https://danluu.com/keyboard-latency/

That includes the physical travel time, which is an extremely important caveat.

Sure. But that is what the experience is, right? When I press a key, the entire end to end latency is what I care about.

But linux [1] has absolutely zero security measures, and this has basically free reign over your computer to send off your .ssh folder, your browser cache, to install a permanent keylogger, etc. [1] Standard “GNU”/linux desktops

True, but where's the difference between downloading a binary and executing it vs. downloading a script and executing that which will then download a binary and execute it? In both cases, you trust the publisher and in both cases the publisher gets equal access to your machine. Oh - you mean you're downloading the source code, then audit it, then compile it and only then you run it? That's super great. That has saved…

The difference is that i prefer flatpak (:
