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

Why a new version control system? Why not git, jj, or another existing system?
Their ACP integration is good (finally), at least with Codex. For when I want to be near the code, I prefer it now over TUIs or the Codex app. It feels much more immediate that way. Sticking to the basics will kill them IMO. They have been pitching themselves as agent-native for a while btw.
And the workflow they are describing in the post sounds amazing, I‘ve been wishing for that. It‘s orthogonal to CVS, no? You can still make PRs. But, crucially, you can loop people in early on, when it matters the most.
Unfortunately their Zed agent is completely broken when running on Windows connected to WSL/SSH remote because the terminal tool checks for paths using the local Path style (windows) which breaks when applied to paths on the remote (linux).
I fixed this and a couple related issues in a PR but it hasn't gotten any attention yet. I guess they are a bit swamped. <a href="https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/59937" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/59937
