Totally agree! I'm also using Zed as my main editor, especially for AI collaboration. The design and user experience are truly impressive. Regarding their pricing, I think their current strategy of "free with usage-based pricing" is smart and fair for both users and the team's sustainable development. Hope they'll keep up this direction and let more people experience this excellent editor! 🎉
yeah just having that context around when you jump around, and also having the propt library available for reusable snippets. And the way that they resolve files from the prompt library is also really cool. So many good things in that box.
Interesting, I have Zed running and have been spending some time with the source code, adding Helix-bindings to it (this got derailed by a second developer starting the same thing, not sure how it went). You get a like from me for this. If you had intercut some examples of using Zed with some examples to back up your points you would have also gotten a subscription. See you next time!
Haha, oh no. What if you both stopped due to being derailed by each other. No Helix-bindings for Zed 😆 Fair and appreciated 🙏 Totally agree that it would have made a big difference, much better than looking at me looking at the screen on the side 🙈
@@lindblomdev Ah, sorry, I misspoke a little. I didn't mean derailed in context of the project as a whole. more that he took another route and I yielded because there was no way both implementations were going into the editor. That was badly worded by me. You know what I mean. :)
The more AI we use, the less valuable our code becomes and I'm not saying this is a bad thing. A side effect of this is that we will be less previous about our precious code, formatting, variable names, conventions etc.
Many developers are very sensitive about their formatting and variables, i truly believe that they would be faster (and happier) if they weren't. Also easier to get along with. I used to have strong believes about how it should look. Now i feel a bit relieved actually not to have these feelings anymore.
What are you talking about. Bro did try it. Felt very Java ui to me, like netbeans or eclipse. It was a couple of years ago, when android studio came out 🤪
i didn't know it was lacking the horizontal scrollbar, it does actually scroll but there is no bar 🤯 I think the git stuff is on the roadmap. I like fork for git, but i guess if it was nice in zed i could use it there. If they bring it, i hope they bring the ability to select individual lines for staging, which i use all the time.

the point exactly to the point, I have copilot but on zed using it becomes productive... the assistant pane is amazing

100%, keep it "clean' and minimal.

major shortcoming for this editor is that it doesn't support jupyter notebooks. Ironically in an AI code editor you cannot do AI!
Bro never tried intelij (the best)

Intellij takes like 10 minutes to open and index the Java monolith I have to code in work lol.
Haha like I remember it then 😆
Intellij is great only too slow and resourceful. I hope Zed will bring git integration, horizontal scrolling and three view merge.
