I remember reading about zed being the up and coming editor when Atom was sunsetting. I've been using Pulsar Editor, but is there a particular reason to jump ship to Zed/The Gram?
post
I tried it last month and then an update suddenly caused it to stop working.
It was great while it worked. I hope they fix it soon.
I'll try it. I still want to make a move off of vs code/codium. I keep zed and lapce installed to keep an eye on but at work everyone uses vs code and its familiar to everyone. I don't know why more people don't give lapce a try or more attention. Zed seemed like it would be corporatized in some way since the beginning. I can see why editors like Kate aren't super adopted with the lack of plugins like vs code but it seemed like Lapce has a pathway to be as extensible
lapce is dead, isn't it?
it has some recent commits on github. I think it can regain momentum. nothing compared to zed. This Zed fork may be suitable but I think it'd be better if community members went and gave lapce another go rather than continuing to base on and effectively be contributing to zed
I’ve kept my eye on this, not due to the AI, but because Zed is a scumbag organization that thinks mandatory opt-out arbitration is okay, because they don’t think their users should have rights. You of course don’t have to sign in but it still indicates they are an evil organization. Alas, I just keep on being super happy with Neovim so I don’t use it.
I switched to helix, but I still sometimes open zed. I tested gram today and it looks promising , so zed is going to the garbage bin.
I tried their editor a few times and found it a bit hard to get used to coming from VS Code. The thing that sank the ship for me honestly was when I found out that they don't support PDF previews in the editor. Given that I use VS Code to also write LaTeX documents, that is an essential feature for me that they seemed very opinionated about not including based on the issues I've seen on their git
Sooo evil, making a great editor available completely for free that you don't have to use at all. How dare they? Practically Hitler!
The entitlement is off the scale...
What the hell are you on about? I don't think I'm entitled to use their editor, hence as I said, not doing so. But I do think I'm entitled to my right to trial provided by a public institution with public accountability rather than a private organization with no accountability and no right to appeal.
You don't have to be comparing something to Hitler to call it evil, which requiring people opt-out of giving up rights is. But hey... Stans gonna Stan.
So, the evil is pretending that it's done out of the goodness of their heart. We all know the end game.
Wow, we found the dude from another era that thinks that free is all that matters.
Big genius.
I am using gram for regular development and it works very well. Do not do any fancy stuff but auto-completion works fine as well as navigating the code base.
I’ve been using this daily since version 1.0.0 was released 2 months ago. Very few complaints.
I like Zed for the AI features, but it's nice that there's an alternative for people who don't.
Our instance is anarchist, seems pretty in line with normal sentiment. The user patterns also do not suggest bot activity.
the Kremlin is the throne of a dictator, and Russia is an imperialist shithole that disrespects human rights and oppresses LGBTQ+ people.
and I wish death to all states. I'm an anarchist, you knob. especially imperialist states like Russia, China, and the United States and Israel. death to them most of all.
I use AI extensively, but I don't need it to write my comments. I can be the shittiest person you've seen on fedi without an LLM, thank you very much.
does that comment sound like it was written by a bot, you slack-jawed slopper? :slopper:
Give me good ol' Sublime Text.
I have been using this for a little while. It works well. Installing extensions was slightly more difficult than regular zed. Otherwise it’s been a rather pleasant experience.
