  • It does just work though, which is what other code editors need to get that kind of adoption, I’d love to be able to say I use vim or Emacs but get frustrated when I’m trying to get work done and things keep breaking, I finally feel I have everything configured and then realise I’m missing something else that took me 3.5 minutes to set up in VScode, half of that is due to the large community.

    Zed works pretty well out of the box but is missing a lot of features that will make it a viable replacement for me. I am excited about Zed and the way it works, it’s super interesting and creative and id love to drive it daily someday, so much so that it’s the first project I’ve really considered contributing to myself.

    I don’t like that VSCode is bloated, but I love that it takes five minutes to set up and contains nearly every feature I can think of.


  • Exactly this! I used to enjoy tinkering with my configuration a lot and then it got stressful as I kept finding new things to add or tweak and change and never ended up getting work done.

    I love how simple sway is, even if I’ve added a few extra visual features with the fx version (at least it’s pretty to look at). The configuration is basically set your used apps to keybinds, choose how you want windows to look and be spaced, add a few key bindings.

    This is super detailed and informative, the actual information I needed. For some reason I couldn’t find it online, maybe I just wasn’t looking in the right place.

    I’ll have to keep referring back to this as my drawing journey progresses. Thank you!
