    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&#x27;ve been hitting that or something recent recently; it&#x27;s what I would consider a severe bug because it can result in lost work and related. Basically, if you `git pull`, edit a file elsewhere, or use an LLM, zed&#x27;s tree will remain stale unless you re-close and open the file. (Restarting the application doesn&#x27;t sort it). So you end up overwriting the file with whatever was in the buffer.
