The biggest problem I personally have with Zed design is it downloading it's own binaries for LSP servers instead of using ones already installed in the system.

Zed support engineer here, that sounds like a bug! I have `zed --version` working on my Windows machine: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> zed --version Zed 1.0.0 5ec84a926ef83865afb92d2a3d1ca3b419572cf9 – \\?\C:\Users\mrg\AppData\Local\Programs\Zed\Zed.exe If you're up for it, we can pair next week to get a proper bug report filed https://calendar.app.google/qPgW7q6upb3RqPjx5
I wasn't expecting that level of support, thanks for the offer! You said it should work, so I did some poking around. Uninstalled it, reinstalled it. Still didn't work. The "About" in app said I was running 1.0.0+stable Checked my environment paths and saw I had both C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Programs\Zed C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Programs\Zed\bin So I opened those paths in explorer, and there is indeed a zed.exe in…
Glad to have "helped" here! :)
Offer still stands if you run into other bugs that aren't in our issue tracker.

What?! Really?! Link? I'm not a Zed user. That comment was based off a few minutes of research, and I guess a small dose hopium of a VSCode user and understanding what a shit show the extensions setup is and wanting someone to do better.
Copying my own comment below, with GH links and my (non-AI) summary after skimming: > https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7054 > https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12589 > TL;DR: Mix of language tooling, unsigned proprietary blobs, corrupted and/or GLIBC-dependent files, redundant copies of already-installed executables. The Node packages especially are able to run scripts on install. Personal pref…
What are they doing with proprietary binary blobs? I thought it's open source.

They've been in development longer than the product has been public. 1-3 in stealth if I remember correctly
A bit early to call it durable then when most of its competition is decades old.
Don't mistake age for durability. A new cast iron pan is durable. The point isn't in providence but in practice. Durable tools (new or old) show themselves immediately.

#717I switched from vscode to zed as a way to keep things interesting at work and now I mostly use zed, it is faster for larger codebases and also have a interesting design which is simmilar enough but with some aspects that feels like a whole different thing.
Re: Zed 1.0
#718idk but I feel never like the zed UI at all

Re: Zed 1.0
#720Could anyone tell me what’s the point of this when you have neovim? This will never be an IDE like Jetbrains Rider if you use a language like C# where those guys excel at: sheer volume of refactorings, static and dynamic analysis, cpu and memory analysis, what have you. And for a scratchpad: is this really better than neovim?
I had a similar reaction. It seems that people don't know what they're missing by working on mature well established languages and platforms with all the benefits you listed. I read comments by people lamenting platforms like Delphi with a proper integrated environment - Java and C# seem to be the follow up today, but some people like to diss them without realizing what they're missing.
