    Zed should focus on basics. When it focuses on basics Zed is good.

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zed-industries&#x2F;zed&#x2F;discussions&#x2F;54150" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zed-industries&#x2F;zed&#x2F;discussions&#x2F;54150 failing to show newly created files and declining to provide a refresh button, instead adding a polling backend, breaks Zed on WSL.

    Why a new version control system? Why not git, jj, or another existing system?

      I agree with you that I wish they&#x27;d just nail the editor. I&#x27;ve been using it for years now and I really like it, but there are a few rough parts (settings and LSPs especially) that could probably be tuned up in no time if the focus was there.

      Having said that, I love the idea of correlating the agent sessions to the changes. I&#x27;m glad someone is working on it.

        You don&#x27;t need a tool for that just configure your agent to write commit messages that link to a LLM log. And changes between commits. Maybe don&#x27;t care why do we even care?

          Of course you are right. I could write my own software to do what I want. Or, I could just do it all myself manually. This argument is valid in pretty much all cases, so I concede the point.

            Thanks. There maybe middle ground too like a Claude plugin.

            I think Zed doesn&#x27;t need to build this though.

        Claude, for example, already does write a git commit trailer with a session ID.
