Zed 1.0

Tried using Zed but for some reason the AI can't open the browser?

I tried zed sometime ago, and the limiting factor was devcontainer support. It looks like they’ve made some progress there https://zed.dev/docs/dev-containers

Congrats guys! I've been using zed since a few months ago, I would consider myself a "light" user but I do enjoy the experience. My only sour point would be the not so smooth integration with claude code. But I've learmt to live with it for now

VSCode is draining my battery, looking forward to trying this

The best thing about Zed is GPUI

Why do I get a warning when trying to run this on Windows 11?

I hate to dismiss Zed for such a stupid reason, but I have tried to use Zed seriously many times and every time I stop because I can't get over the theme. I've tried basically every single theme I can find that is reasonably popular and they are all equally poor. VSCode and Cursor have vastly better default themes.

Does anyone have any suggestions here? I would love to use Zed more.

Zed is one of my fav. piece of software of the last years :)

Can I replace Vim with Zed? Is there a vim mode?

Love zed, prepared to love it moreee

Congrats to the entire team!

Huge congratulations to the Zed team!

2.3k issues says enough. License as mentioned by others here equally belongs in the trash. Shameful

I seriously hate this “choose your adventure” way with new IDEs. Just install the language plugin, then spend hours making it work, and then it has crazy bugs anyway. Maybe just ptsd from the Java language server, but I’ve also somehow made editing json files laggy and unresponsive by installing the json language server.

Jetbrains “just worked”, but work isn’t paying for the license anymore because AI so I’ll just bang my head against these plugins.

Best editor ever.

Looking at Zed (and Brave in another thread) I'm really firming up this idea that the "big funded private company model" for essential tech software is just most often idea. They don't know how to add features without also adding bloat and BS.

This is why I say Docker is the only real "success" story here. And note, I mean a success story for the users; Docker tries real hard to enshittify and fails, and that's good.

Such a pity remote dev containers are critical for me. I guess some SSH tunneling could help with it...

Wow! So much yes!!!

zed is very awesome!!

the best modern editor ever

As a heavy (n)vim user for the last decade, what does zed give me i wont get with vim?

Is it targeted for IDE people or vscode users, or is there something else i can benefit from coming from vim?

Now that Zed supports remote development, I really hope they can release it for tablets (iOS/Android) so that we can use it as a client for a remote development machine. That would be delightful!

> We're also launching Zed for Business. Companies have been asking us for a way to roll out Zed to their engineering teams, and very soon they can, with centralized billing, role-based access controls, and team management.

Regardless of everything else being said, does anyone actually still do it? I thought this practice more or less died with Eclipse, where proprietary editors often shipped as Eclipse plugin and then the ops of a company that bought the plugin would have to configure it for every developer, set up with home-made automation etc.

I haven't seen anything like this in the last ten years at least and assumed the practice was dead, and, instead, developers were allowed to use whatever editor they want, while committing editor-specific (configuration) files, for example, would be considered a noobie mistake.

Or was I just happily living in the world where the long arm of the corporate was unable to reach me?

Would not recommend getting attached to an editor that's VC funded by Sequoia.

I'm using it and i fail to see what is the difference between this and VSCode

I try Zed every few months. I does not yet have everything I need yet, but at some point I think it's going to be the best code editor out there.

zeds dead baby

Strange, I'm on 2.4.1 already. Oh wait...this isn't about ZFS.

Sorry, can't help it, every time I see Zed i think of the ZFS Event Daemon

their website kick my fan up, what gives? CPU sweating just to display this??

An editor that sends all your input to the U.S. and consumes 50% of your CPU while idle, and still gets praised to high heaven. We truly live in the age of enshittification.

Sorry, I am not going to use and get attached to a code editor that is VC funded. You know the enshittification will happen sooner or later.

Can't run it. Vulkan as a dependency for a text editor is beyond retarded.

bro why build a new IDE, just use IntelliJ or any other flavor of these for your favorite language. You would have saved years and 37.000 commits

I've installed it from flatpak and it has improved somewhat but won't use it because it doesn't remember the window size and position. Resizing the window is a pain in the ass, the arrows don't show up until you match the border pixels and it doesn't even try to mimic the native UI stuff, uses round corners. Vertical resize doesn't work, it just moves the window up and down so you have to use the corner resize. Good luck doing that with round corners. If the editor doesn't start up as I've left it, then I'll keep using my pinned (because M$ like to randomly add annoying shit that breaks my workflow) VSCodium. Also, the "Sign in" drop down on the title bar. Sign in where? I don't want to sign in anywhere, let me remove that. Maybe keep the dropdown for the settings and other stuff a small icon in front of it and about "Sign in". That should be an entry in the dropdown menu, the last one on the list. In fact let me remove the widgets that I deem useless from the main UI just like the browsers do. I haven't even got to check if it has syntax highlighting for Perl, Ruby and Racket yet because these things annoyed me so much that I uninstalled it. Good stuff: one can disable AI and Git integration, athough I'd appreciate if the further options would just go away when you switched the whole thing off. Atom, Sublime and VSCode keymaps are also nice because I don't have to remap. Will check again at 1.5, I guess. At least it has improved somewhat since that last time I've tried it, I think 0.13 or so.

Testing it now ... it is absurdly efficient with tokens. Probably order of magnitude better than opencode for a couple of tasks.
