Would be nice if Zed announced anything related to what Zed actually is: a code editor.

This thing is fairly new in software years and has already stagnated. Bugs, glitches and rough edges all around. Almost feels like abandonware.

I first heard of Zed back when it was “the code editor that respected your choices”, you could turn off AI entirely with a single switch and all that… guess it was too much of a pipe dream to hope it would continue down that road.

This thing is now just a white-label version of Visual Code. Nothing more. Nothing less. Same software, different case.

What a shame.

Just because they started out as a code editor doesn't mean it has to stay that way. I was looking forward to a more modern Sublime Text in Zed but I also know that nobody is going to make money off a simple code editor.

That's a wild hot take, and pretty ignorant to the people working on that for years.
