Zed’s AI-enabled software-as-a-service offering (the “Service”)
Customer must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. You must be 18 or older to use ZedNow here's an area where one of those newfangled large language models actually could do some good: create a spelling checker which doesn't gleefully replace somewhat misspelled or 'mis-swiped' words with correctly spelled but contextually clearly nonsensical ones.
I have tried zed multiple times and always uninstalled it after a few days because of the ugly font rendering, slow response time (!), high memory usage (!!) and being very buggy in general. And don't even get me started on their AI-first shenanigans.
This is on Linux, maybe it works better on other platforms.
If you're using Windows (+ WSL) then yes, there's a hunch of memory issues currently. Apart from Windows I've never issues though, especially seeing as how intellij indexing takes >1 min and hogs my memory during that period.
The only reason I'm not switching is because Zed's vim bindings are aaalmost perfect. I did not like Vim Mode in VSC or intellij IDE's since it's another keymap I have to learn next to my nvim setup
Maybe this is a vim thing? What do emacs and vscode users feel about zed?
I can't believe the latency of browser based editor is acceptable to people
Tried it, it was the worse experience I had with an editor since I started my career… then I tried it again because maybe they figured it out… it’s still bad.
It is slow, it's missing features and it is buggy.
It’s good. Launches from anywhere from cli with just ‘zed .’ (No logs and artifacts that hold up the terminal). Multiple instances without worry (unlike PyCharm I used before).
It’s good to the point I keep checking to see if there is a “pro” plan, but there isn’t. They just have AI subscriptions.
I have opened at all times at least 3-4 medium sized front-end projects and at least one large python project and never had memory issues.
Debugging is good. I'd love to see integrated test runners.
I also wish the collaboration was more relevant and fleshed out, but no one I know uses it anyway.
"Customer must be at least 18 years old to use the Service"
this pretty clearly refers to the subscription service and not to the 'downloadable software' or source code
> By agreeing to these Terms, Customer represents and warrants to Zed that: (a) Customer is at least 18 years old
"these Terms" are the terms you need to agree to in order to download the editor. You can't agree to them if you're under 18.
That's gonna be a no from me, dawg.
