> seriously, where is the setting to have a different ui size vs ui font size

Search for font size in preferences.

You'll see a 'font size' under 'buffer' (editor), under 'UI Font', and under 'Agent Panel' to let you control font sizes in all of those places independently.

Zed lets you hand-edit too! It's fast and decent. vim, neovim, Emacs, Helix, and JetBrains products continue to do that well too. There are still more traditional IDEs/editors than pure AI ones.

You can also toggle AI features off in Zed from preferences if you want to.

ah I forgot a word, I meant the ui icon size. If I bump up the ui font size so that I can distinguish the icons apart on my large monitor, the ui text becomes comically large.

I do use Zed without AI features, it's just a bit of a disappointment (though understandable) since it was originally marketed as just a nice speedy editor.

Have you tried a different icon theme? Some are just easier to see than others. The default icon theme is pretty light.

I don't think changing icon size independent of UI font size would be a dealbreaker for many. (I'm quite happy having icons that scale in line with font size, but then I use the Material Icon Theme, which is easy to scan at most sizes.)

It's still a nice speedy editor. It didn't lose any features to make room for AI

Is Zed lacking any feature you need?

A proper git implementation.

I end up doing things in the terminal tab because its faster than the ui or is more clear.

The basics are good but thats about it.

What git features are you missing? We've been adding a ton recently

		If you're taking suggestions I'd like to be able to see when I'm over the 72 character limit, last time I checked there was no way to know inside Zed when writing the commit message though I might be wrong. Other than that I think Zed's great and multi-buffer editing is really swell.
