I can see the beginning of something truly great in this editor. It’s going to become better than VS code in a year.

It’s already great for some languages like Go and Rust.

Telorand ,

I hope that’s true, but it will be an uphill battle for them to get people to move. VS Code is already pretty good.

VScode is proprietary and slow. If you are using something like that you should use VScodium

Mihies ,

But aren’t both the same speedwise?

possiblylinux127 ,

Yes but one is libre without telemetry

Interesting project, how ever it will be hard to compete with existing editors and its plugin eco-systems.

GravitySpoiled , (edited )

I don’t think so. The guys who write the plugins are the cracks and the cracks will use zed.

priapus ,

It supports LSPs, and has treesitter syntax highlighting and git integration which honestly makes it 90% of the way there already

linucs ,

Vim keybindings or death

aaro ,

It has those as well

linucs ,

Great!

gortbrown ,

I was so happy about this! Been using it on my work MacBook and have been excited to use it on my main laptop!

Lmao fuck this project

priapus ,

They are addressing this here: github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/14034

Thats not the point. Why should you trust anything from this project after they would allow third party unsigned binaries from questionable sources

priapus ,

Because people can make make mistakes…

Loads of important projects have had vulnerabilities that showed up through minor mistakes and oversights. I agree that this shouldn’t happen, but it did. I’d still prefer this project to a closed source editor/IDE and even VSCodes method of having a store full of plugins, many of which are closed source and unverified. The project is in alpha, mistakes and problems are expected. This was obviously an oversight, and after being pointed out, it is being addressed.

Can you elaborate on questionable sources? All the sources I saw were the official sources of the binaries they wanted to download.

There ought to be a rule that posts about software releases have to say what it is.

Zed (a high-performance code editor announced in 2022), not to be confused with Xed (a small and lightweight text editor released in 2016)

EDIT: or Yed (a small and simple terminal editor core)

ksp OP ,

My bad, it’s up now
