Zed is my daily driver for the last couple of month. I tried it a few times before but had to switch to various other editors for different projects. But my plan was to finally ditch VSCode as my normal file editor. I really love how fast the editor fires up. I also love the fact that it has great vim binding not just in the editor pane.

The best thing about Zed is GPUI

Unrelated to the actual editor but this is one of the best looking and most responsive websites I've ever used

Nobody in the post or the comment talked about how it is built on top of / similarly to Godot Engine. Congrats to the Zed team!

I want to use Zed but last time I tried it was spawning node processes, i guess for lsp. (I develop in Go)

I would really love to see an iOS remote control app for zed. I am using it on throw away microvms via ssh. Would love to have the zed server running there, control agents via phone and occasionally use my Mac to connect to the server and use the desktop app as normal for review and hand coding

This is a solid release and first time, I feel like it is pretty good for the use case of decent sized Typescript mono repos. I can jump around codebase quicker.

PS: Pretty daring move to think of building an editor when there's already sublime, textmate, Jetbrains and VSCode.

I want to like and use Zed, but in my mind there was some odd commerce, or 3rd party share decision that was made which had me avoid it for security reasons. Like... Zed was endorsed as the only editor for something... can anyone remember or elaborate? I cannot!

Congrats to the Zed! I've been using zed since their first launch on HN. They did not even have a search + replace function at that time! I now use zed all_the_time.

What an awesome journey!
