Is Zed a text editor?
It is a lifestyle.
So, it’s trying to replace Emacs?
Emacs is more of a religion.
I don’t think Zed has an email client and window manager built-in.
… yet.
A vibe
Some random one that appeared out of nowhere for mac only, seems the be from some company and because of that people are hyping the shit out of it.
Many places that never mentioned the other more known and editors like helix now suddenly are mentioning this one. It smells as a huge ad/marketing campaign. Not sure what the plans are for monetisation and the business plan.
It’s a lot more than a random text editor.
It’s a text editor from (at least some of) the people that made Atom at GitHub (with the explicit premise of learning from Atom/building a faster, better, Atom).
The business plan is to sell collaboration features (e.g., remote pair programming).
Yes, a code-oriented one meant to be very fast and responsive. It’s pre-alpha on Linux but compiles without any fuss for me. I haven’t spent much time with it, but the only bug I’ve seen so far is an uncommanded theme change when switching between files.
You are thinking of Xed
Thank goodness these things aren’t confusingly named.
