Interesting take on the evolution of text editors and the role of AI. Zed presents a lot of potential. However, I agree with the limitations you pointed out such as its availability only on Mac OS, and the lack of extensibility.

I've tried it and it works really well. It's indeed very minimal. One of the things I really liked was the "onboarding" you get to pick a theme, setup a few things but most importantly choose keyboard shortcuts. You can do intelliJ, vscode and other shortcuts. So you'll feel right at home using the same shortcuts. Missing features for me: Git, seeing your git changes visually, a diff, staging unstaging etc the basic like vscode had. Seeing your current branc name Stuff like git blame file icon (there are file icons atm but they are again super minimal an a bit too minimal for me, I want some more color so I can easily see what kind of file it is.) If they would add at least the above features, I will probably switch from vscode.
As a +15 year software engineer myself, I don't understand all this focus on speed. If your work productivity depends on a few milliseconds of difference in inserting characters into your editor, I really wouldn't want to be you. Good software devs are not measured by their code writing speed.

I don't think their future Linux and Windows builds will have same features and performance as macOS. Also without extensibility you cannot gain market share from your biggest competitor, VSCode. They just focused on some second order stuff but not actual features. I don't think the plugin support will be rich as VS Code unless they don't have multi platform support.

My roommate loves Zed, but he uses Mac only, I use all three (Mac, Windows, and Linux) interchangeably and so I am going to continue to use VS code until Zed comes out on those platforms
I legitimately like Zed. I recently found the Arc browser and almost accidentally switched to it. After years of using Safari (mostly for energy efficiency on my laptop), jumping into Arc felt very natural. I think it took maybe an hour of test driving to feel confident making a switch. I never looked back. Zed was exactly the same. Everything is clean, trim, snappy, and mostly does exactly what I need without fluff. I can't wait to see where it goes. I'd like to make a full switch, but the lack of extensions is preventing it so far. We'll get there, though.
For me it was a simple progression Atom --> Sublime --> JetBrains --> VSCode --> Vanilla Neovim --> NVChad (still Neovim) I have yet to see anything in any other code editor or IDE that is a good enough reason to leave my comfy Neovim setup.
Well, I run it on Linux Debian 12. Support is ongoing by great devs on their free time. For now It displays and most buttons crash the interface. Each day there is less bugs.
It's fantastically fast but I still have to keep VScode and JetBrains on standby for specific plugins and refactoring features. Zed has been my primary editor for a couple weeks now and I don't want to go back to the slugs
Tried it out today and it's neat. Copilot integration is quick and note intuitive than my lunarcim setup. Shame some basic stuff is broke, like the eslint output window bot opening when you get an error, which is on every keystroke sometimes.
There will probably be more price pressure on applications in the future, which means that increasingly faster ways of coding are required. When everyone can develop pro, low no-coding. So there will also be more choice for companies and users.
It NEEDS something like Lua for extensions. No matter what they say, Rust is too high a bar for most would be extension developers. Editors live and die by their extensibility.
I remember how everyone complained at how IntelliJ was slow and eats a lot of RAM compared to VSCode. Back then VSCode was new, fast & cool, even though it had quite a bit of issues. I even switched to it later because some plugin or the editor itself introduced editing files remotely over SSH, the feature which I use massively because I don't have to remote control the company's device (usually a MacBook), when I can just edit files on it from Windows PC. Now, the question is... would we see the history repeat itself?

Nice Pulp Fiction reference there 👍 0:22
when fireship uploads , i feel happy , i am watching his previous videos for getting knowledge
I learned on Atom and loved teletype for working on school projects together.
My roommate loves Zed, but he uses Mac only, I use all three (Mac, Windows, and Linux) interchangeably and so I am going to continue to use VS code until Zed comes out on those platforms
I legitimately like Zed.
I recently found the Arc browser and almost accidentally switched to it. After years of using Safari (mostly for energy efficiency on my laptop), jumping into Arc felt very natural. I think it took maybe an hour of test driving to feel confident making a switch. I never looked back.
Zed was exactly the same. Everything is clean, trim, snappy, and mostly does exactly what I need without fluff. I can't wait to see where it goes. I'd like to make a full switch, but the lack of extensions is preventing it so far. We'll get there, though.
Talking about AGI and the threat of it, it the best way for them to keep attention
i love atom, i still use it sometimes for old times sake:)
I used it. Since I am working in Java, it doesn't have much support but it's lightning fast. And do use Warp terminal by same company
For me it was a simple progression
Atom --> Sublime --> JetBrains --> VSCode --> Vanilla Neovim --> NVChad (still Neovim)
I have yet to see anything in any other code editor or IDE that is a good enough reason to leave my comfy Neovim setup.
Just tried it, it's amazing 10/10. Great design and finally I don't have 10k buttons and functions I don't need nor understand like in VS code.
It killed my enthusiasm when he said that it's currently only available on Mac OS.
Well, I run it on Linux Debian 12. Support is ongoing by great devs on their free time. For now It displays and most buttons crash the interface. Each day there is less bugs.
Awesome, this IDE looks cool, ill check it out
Mac only💀
It's fantastically fast but I still have to keep VScode and JetBrains on standby for specific plugins and refactoring features.
Zed has been my primary editor for a couple weeks now and I don't want to go back to the slugs
Finally available for linux!!!
Tried it out today and it's neat. Copilot integration is quick and note intuitive than my lunarcim setup. Shame some basic stuff is broke, like the eslint output window bot opening when you get an error, which is on every keystroke sometimes.
That outro music always kicks off a Barry White ear-worm. ("My first, my last, my everything...") - You're welcome. ;)
I need a copilot but for writing PRs
AI to programming, is like the co-pilot in commercial aviation. You still need the pilots there!
good IDEs were long time ago, Turbo Pascal, Turbo C 2.0, Borland C++ 3.1 (build with Turbo Vision), later MS Visual Studio, Eclipse etc. ...
I really liked Zed on macOS, now I really want it on Windows (my main machine)
The image of the "plateau" is from Fortaleza national park in southern Brazil.
You've heard of gaming at 120fps.
Now get ready for coding at 120fps.
Truly the gamechanger of all time.
There will probably be more price pressure on applications in the future, which means that increasingly faster ways of coding are required. When everyone can develop pro, low no-coding. So there will also be more choice for companies and users.
Keep it crazy, Jeff, keep it crazy. All the best, brother 💪
As of yesterday, 21st of February, they have officially released support for extensions.
jetbrains webstorm will forever be my special angel.
Seeing the Hi Mom made me remember, hope you are doing well @Fireship ...
The final image of this video is an amazing reference.
That's basically one of the first code reports where my anxiety didn't spiked because of AI and me being programmer
It NEEDS something like Lua for extensions. No matter what they say, Rust is too high a bar for most would be extension developers.
Editors live and die by their extensibility.
Emacs is 47 years old. All its Lisp code can be overwritten by the user. Sure Lisp is different than Lua, but it's not that hard.
This review is Phil Collins' IN THE AIR TONIGHT. 3:37 is the beat drop.
I still remember a time when Sublime was dominated the market through it's simplicity, now we're restarting
I remember how everyone complained at how IntelliJ was slow and eats a lot of RAM compared to VSCode.
Back then VSCode was new, fast & cool, even though it had quite a bit of issues.
I even switched to it later because some plugin or the editor itself introduced editing files remotely over SSH,
the feature which I use massively because I don't have to remote control the company's device (usually a MacBook), when I can just edit files on it from Windows PC.
Now, the question is... would we see the history repeat itself?
