Sublime is just great software. It does everything I could possibly ever want an editor to do, and it does it with half the memory usage of VS Code. I like VS Code well enough, but I can't abide resource waste like that, especially when it doesn't actually buy me anything.

Honestly, I use Sublime because nothing else can compare. Everything else is slow, bloated, worse to use, or some combination of the above.

Have you tried Zed, and if so, what's your opinion?

I have, but seems it has evolved quite a bit in the past year when looking at their new front page. I'll probably give it a shot. But in any case, I don't like their focus in collaborative features. It brings unnecessary bloat, that is not present in Sublime.

Fwiw you can disable all AI bloat and online features with a couple of config keys

But isn't that your "zed"'s selling point? What remains if you turn those off?

Does it have gamification too, in addition to "AI" and "social"?

What an oddly aggressive tone x) It's not "my" Zed's selling point because I don't develop or even use zed daily atm. But it's also not the selling point period, it's one of them, the others being e.g. performance, responsiveness, and low memory footprint, as well as integration with tree sitter and LSP.

Not sure what you mean by gamification and social, we're talking about collaborative editing, not posting to twitter lol
