I really want to love Zed.

And truly believe they are onto something big with multiplayer coding, chat, collab.

But I’ve run into so many bugs I’ve had to stop using Zed.

The amount of time I’ve spent filing bugs, troubleshooting, documenting errors etc - is counter productive.

It makes me realize that I’m old enough now to just want things to work.

I’ll give it another go once it hits 1.0

Until then, wishing them the best and for them to make the developer world better for us all.



This is how I've been feeling about neovim recently.


I'm curious as to why. I finally went all in on neovim about two years ago and have been having an amazingly stable experience.


are you referring to the actual editor or to the plugins you used?

the editor itself has been very stable for me (daily usage) and the plugin ecosystem definitely offers so many choices that most of the time I can find stable/well-working ones for my use case.


Neovim core has lots of bugs.

Conveys a lovely element of gardening: new bits of code appear like shoots in the garden, often troubling if they aren't what one planted, taking time to weed giving nutritious shoots room to grow.


Zed? More like Zen.
