Zed on Linux is out!
No git tab still. Vscode > Zed for now.
Zed is dead.
It’s not really an alternative yet, it’s in alpha versions…
But I think it will be great in a year.
What’s with these posts using misleading info recently?
This doesn’t look anything like vs code.
The only similarity might be they’re both ide’s
Uhm yeah both are text editors trying to pass as an IDE. And alternatives don’t have to look alike either.
Well… I just tested it… And actually it seems closer than I thought…
I have no idea though why they used screenshots without a project pane and such. It supports extensions and such too…
I can’t see a FIXME Extension though that highlights it yet though… Or a markdown preview extension (which I definitely need)
I’m on the Neovim train and I’m not getting off at this junction.
But more high quality choices is a good thing.
I’m using Rider and considering to switch to something like Vim. Any recommendation for me on where to start?
Start by running vim and typing :vimtutor
. You might have to install the vimtutor package. Its a good way to learn. Once you’re through the vimtutor tutorial you should be good to go, you’ll get better over time. I second recommending neovim over original vim. The command is nvim
to start once installed.
A couple of months ago I wrote up some instructions for someone that was trying to make the switch to neovim. They reported back that it was helpful.

I had multiple failed starts with (n)vim, always getting frustrated way before I had a usable setup, until I just used NvChad. It’s basically a preconfigured version, with all the plugins, keybinds,… you could probably want.
It gave me something usable right out of the box. I continued tinkering with it for almost two years before moving on to my completely custom configuration.
IMO the people that say you should start with bare (n)vim in order to learn everything from the ground up are delusional. There’s no reason you can’t learn all that stuff after you’ve actually experienced how nice the entire thing can be.
I’ll be using it with c# and unity. I don’t care about debuggers, or starting the project from the IDE. I imagine there are plugins that hook it up to the c# language server?
I’m planning to learn Rust, so I might also just get started with that plus nvChad. Then I keep using Rider for my daily work.
