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?

>>asmor+h3
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.

>>asmor+h3
Not the person you're replying to, but I have tried Zed and I think it does too much things I don't need (like LLM integration, all that "multiplayer" stuff), and it's funded by VCs, so it will go down the road of enshittification (or sale, or shut down) eventually.

I don't want to support VC-backed companies.

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"?

>>asmor+h3
I tried it a few months ago and it was a buggy mess with strange defalts. Totally unusable on a couple of the projects I tried it on.

>>asmor+h3
I haven't tried Zed. I looked into it, but there was some reason I decided it wasn't for me. I want to say it was that they seemed focused on LLMs, but it's been a while so I forget exactly what it was that I didn't like about it when I researched.

An open source, fast, customizable cross-platform text editor with native UI and support for plugins and language servers. I don't think there's any other software that can tick all these boxes.

>>369548+cd2
Language servers means "AI" right?

The other boxes can be ticked by a lot of editors that were made before the js monopoly.

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

>>nottor+uw3
No, LSPs. Language servers is a pretty well-defined term.

>>nottor+Wu
Zed's selling point is performance
