“Even if I would replace IntelliJ IDEA with VSCode or even Zed, I would only take 32GB as the absolute minimum and even struggle with that. I'm doing web development regularly get close to 50GB of ram usage.”
“Tried switching to zed, but I miss the run configurations from jetbrains. I can edit and switch configs and then just bind a key to the current config.”
“Hi everyone, I recently noticed that I often get disoriented when I open excerpts from the multibuffer, because the viewport changes position. Here's a demo of my implementation to fix this issue, I'd love to hear your thoughts. If you like it, please support the [PR](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/63986).”
“Zed gives a nice alternative and with its focus on AI it has great potential money wise. So… it probably will stay free, but the ownership can change.”
“Fortunately, the existing Zed code is licensed primarily as GPL3, with some Apache2 components. That means that we can fork (Zee editor anyone) at will, if the governance gets terrible.”
“Hi! I’d like to know if there’s a way to see when I hit the limit in OpenCode in Zed Editor Threads. Zed doesn't show it, but the CLI in the Terminal does. Maybe it’s a setting I’ve missed.”
“Zed/gpui, in spirit, started before he left GitHub - in an attempt to right the wrongs of Electron and Atom. But they didn’t want it with VSC being the favoured son at the time.”
“I'm annoyed that Zed made the strange choice to build support for git, and only git, into the core of the code. I looked into what it would take to add support for another VCS and it looks like a nightmare because there's no support for VCS plugins.”
“I used Zed here and there pre-1.0.0. It felt clunky and incomplete so it never stuck. Now, I use Zed 95% of the time and have been for roughly 3 months. I absolutely love it.”
“I've been a Zed user for quite some time now and while it felt weird at first, I do think now that having a dedicated tab for these views actually make sense. Now I only switch back to VSCode when I need very specific feature which are still missing on Zed.”
“No way, Zed uses multibuffer view for search results, references and git changes, moreover, it constantly open new tabs instead of reusing the current temporarily one. I don't know how it can be convenient for anyone.”
“I've been using Zed as my main tool for coding but a couple of times each day I really miss Pycharm. Back when it was fast for me, it was amazing for coding context and to this day I think Pycharm's Git client is unmatched.”
“Zed's a great editor, but it's built the way nearly every code editor is, the document lives in memory, which is why it feels instant on normal files. And $180 is the lifetime option for people who hit these files every week.”
“But, one thing led to another, and I needed to add VSCode and Zed editor (because I love Zed) as well as internal browser to make it easier to spin up a server inside of codespace and view it using internal browser.”
“I would consider trying Gram (A fork of Zed) I found it to be a little less bloated, since it strips accounts, telemetry and AI. But honestly if Zed is working for you keep using it.”
