I'm keeping an eye on Zed: https://zed.dev/
Yeah, AI, whatever. It's written in Rust and looks pretty great.
Yeah you can turn off the AI it's not mandatory, besides, it's really fast, has built in support for LSP's , custom themes which are easy to make, vim mode out of the box, extensions, and some GitHub functionalities.
I was using Kate because electron is too much of a hog on my system and zed works insanely well (it's slightly slower than Kate though but not very important)
I wish you could turn off the automatic downloads on zed though (or have a prompt to confirm the download) but it's really shaping up to be a great text editor.
I'm currently mid-migration from Windows to Linux, so I have to wait until the Windows release or until I finish migrating (I'm not really up for building a beta at this point), but I'm very excited.
It's not done, but I've replaced VSCode and haven't felt the need to come back, moreover If I were to go back I'd miss Zed because it's just that good.
Like it feels so light and fast 🤤
Did Zed devs fix vim mode? In the early stages I tried it and lots of movements weren't the same as in vim, I still remember trying to jump a few screen down and it just deleted a few lines instead. Also didn't really like that you couldn't controll the menu on the left using vim movements like you can with vimtree, really makes it unusable if you have to jump around between your mouse and keyboard. Gotta check it myself I guess, hopefully they made it better
So you tried to move a few screens down and accidentally deleted a few lines?
I don't know what you're talking about, to me it sounds like they've perfectly nailed the vim experience!
I pressed Ctrl+d a few times and it deleted a few lines instead. Ctrl d and Ctrl u are used for travelling half-screen down and up. That's right, you don't know what I'm talking about and still spewing bullshit. *.world checks out.
Oh my god buddy, it was a joke. Breathe.
