Switched to Zed recently, after finding out it’s basically flawless on Linux now (it was pretty bad initially) and after about 20 minutes uninstalled vscodium for good.
It’s a very solid editor and one less electron thing on my system.
Indeed. The only issue I have with Helix is the TOML format of the config files. It’s kind of clunky, especially in the languages file. It would be cool if you could be a little less verbose in there. Like YAML or something, and do deeper nesting in a cleaner way, and references for deduplication of settings that are identical, like for JavaScript and TypeScript.
I’ve been experimenting with it on Linux for the last week. Seems interesting, I get mixed feelings from it’s minimalist approach, but I tend to use it.
I’ll keep it around, looks like it’ll stick w me

I like Zed as a concept. Rapid af, vim bindings built in, lean stuff.
But I just can’t go back to vim after enjoying helix bindings. They’re too good.
Helix is bae, the best of both worlds, of both Emacs and Vim.

Oh, cool. I didn’t know about this one.
Trying Zed now on the eternal quest of eventually replacing emacs…
I’ve known Zed for almost a year now, but it still lacks a lot of what VS Code offers. Especially when it comes to customization.
Sounds like a rash decision.
