Holy fuck, I’m in love 
I’m sorry but I’m too far deep into emacs to ever use anything else
Isn’t the whole point of Zed being an open source Agentic IDE/Text Editor? I can’t say I really understand stripping it down from it’s main concept, considering that VSCodium, Helix, Kate, Geany, Emacs, Neovim, etc., are all great and ethical foss projects.
But I’m not complaining either. The more FOSS projects, the better actually.
nah, a few centuries ago it was actually an editor with a novel idea. Basically centered around collaborative features like live-coding, chats and etc. That was its main focus but the more AI became shoved into everything, they followed suit i guess and the zed we know today isn’t really the same anymore.
It started as a nice rust gui-based editor with a focus on collaborative editing. I think it shifted into the LLM stuff after its initial releases.
