Neat. I use Zed at work, but now also having it on my personal desktop will be nice. Bye, VSCode.
On my system, just one note that it didn't render a menu bar. Not that I use it much anyway, just had to find the default keybind to open the keybinds config (btw: ctrl K |> ctrl S) and pasted what I used from work (then bulk-replaced all cmd's with ctrl's)
Theme change was not sticking on first launch, but second launch I guess it realized "Oh, I'm supposed to be this color now. Got it". Ligatures don't do, but it is a preview and that's just an aesthetic.
Which plugins? I dont really care about many of them. Does the editor type my funny robot words and help me make sure the words I typed made sense for the language (aka, language servers)? Yes? Good.
For sure! Ya I was happy to find it as letting MS force me into their world was not something I was willing to let happen and I didn't find another FOSS editor that was appropriate for my needs.

I'm not seeing anything in the data collected that I wouldn't want to be sent if the app crashed.

In that case, why aren't you using any other editor that can do the same? Why not just use VSCode?

I was using VSCode prior. VSCode works, sure, I just like the layout and flow of how I have Zed configured at the moment.
Also, preferably less Microsoft in my everything

If you like Atom, Pulsar is basically Atom continued under a different name.

Oh man, thanks for this, I didn’t know that there was a still-live form of Atom and I’ll have to check this out.
