The Zed Debugger Is Here

I've gone full-time with Zed for the past month or so and really like it. Love the fast start times. There was a blurry font issue on linux, but that seems to have been fixed for me. Not sure what caused it.

Zed is fantastic. I've been making the leap from neovim to zed lately, and it's been an great experience. Everything feels snappy, and I love how well they've integrated Vim bindings. Their agent mode is nice as well. It's clearly an underdog to VSCode, so the extension ecosystem isn't quite there yet... but for a lot of the things I've used it for, it's sufficient. The debugger has been the big missing feature for me and I'm really glad they've built it out now - awesome work.

Love zed, wish it would work with Claude max. It’s amazing

Is this not doable with its MCP configuration? Today I tried this and wrote it down after it worked well for me if Zed allows similar usage and config https://www.bobbby.online/post/a-clever-hack-claude-code-as-...

Not Zed's fault but I'm still stuck with VSCode because Zed doesn't support PLatformIO (or rather PlatformIO doesn't support Zed).

I'm guessing that this extension support problem will continue to be a barrier to uptake for a while.
