I was all for trying it until I saw this in the License Agreement: "4.1. Zed's Use of Customer Data Customer hereby grants Zed a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-sublicensable (except to service providers and Customer’s designees), non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 15.1) right to use, copy, store, disclose, transmit, transfer, display, modify, create derivative works from, col…

Oh no.. fuck them, not this shit again.. With AI being so good why isn't someone making fully open source alternatives to all this crap by now? Oh Zed is open source, maybe Codex/Claude can make a VSCodium-like fork off it?

Gram, a fork of zed, exists already. https://gram.liten.app/

That actually exists. I initially avoided Zed for similar reasons, then someone pointed me to Gram. It does come with all the drawbacks of disabling AI, telemetry, phone-home and attempting to protect your privacy. It is hard to get started with than Zed, but it's a nice editor. https://gram.liten.app

hell yeah! Thanks for pointing me towards this! Hadn't heard of it before. This looks great!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Can you cite the passage that authorizes Zed to modify the terms without the user's consent? Before I retired, my job was, inter alia, writing software licenses. I was GC for a tech company. I'd like to validate what you're saying, bc I'm the author of a Zed plugin and I wrote a language grammar that another plugin uses. I don't use Zed, but I occasionally consider switching.

16.4

That's not what 16.4 says, although I can understand how you'd think that (and personally, I would not have written 16.4 this way, and I've had a longstanding issue with a lot of software license phrasing; used to find all sorts of loopholes in partner agreements even with enormous companies like AT&T). 16.4 warns the user that terms might change, those terms will be available, and continued use of the product after the new terms are promulgated will constitute acceptance of the terms.

You can even see this in action: https://zed.dev/blog/terms-update

When new terms come out, you're forcibly signed out of the Zed service and have to agree to new ones before using the service again.

It's most likely the case that this clause was written so that someone using the service, when offered new terms, can't say "nah, Imma stick with the old terms" and then claim Zed aren't allowed to revoke the license.

I love Sublime, but I don't want to pay to upgrade from 3 to whatever version it is now, Zed is everything I wanted Sublime to be. Honestly, I wanted VS Code but fully native, and I feel like that's what I'm getting from Zed. I feel like some people will be put off by all the "AI" mentioned by Zed, but you're sleeping on a top tier editor where you can just ignore the AI stuff if you don't want it. It's very high qua…

The AI stuff was a lot more prominent in an earlier version, but they tweaked it a bit. It's the same with Warp forcing a login at first. Jetbrains is a heavyweight IDE, but I'm not sure if the weight is worth the features it offers anymore, at least for the things I work on. VS Code is also an IDE, but it's a bit easier on resources depending on what plugins you use and what you allow them to do. I've had combinatio…

> VS Code is also an IDE

I always called it a Lightweight IDE. ;)

I really want to like Zed because they've clearly put so much work into it, but so far I've been sticking with Sublime. I have several large PHP projects that were started in the 2010-2020 era, and Zed will highlight and complain about all sorts of minor things that were standard PHP fare at the time: functions without return types, for example. My code (which works fine) looks like an ocean of red when I view it wit…

I was using JetBrains for more than a decade. Then I got into Python as well and so was juggling between WebStorm, PyCharm, CLion and Intellij Idea. Zed has replaced the first three completely. Put the appropriate config file in project root for whichever LSP/linter/tool is running, and most of these warnings disappear. Writing C in Zed is a wonderful experience. The LSPs surface errors in an manner that is very easy…

For your fist point, is the command `editor: toggle soft wrap` what you want?
