Zed should focus on basics. When it focuses on basics Zed is good.
<a href="https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/54150" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/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 don't want Zed to focus on accommodating WSL's quirks.

    I would like Zed to have feature parity with VSCode from 6 years ago. Working well over SSH or WSL, which it currently doesn't, is a part of that, even if I don't use that everyday.
    I am a paying user, and have no plans to stop supporting them financially, but I wish they locked in and went through GH Issues queue, starting from the oldest.

    Of course vs code accommodates wsl. Same company. Personally I couldn’t care less how badly MS wants to make windows a viable development environment. It’s more irrelevant every day. I’m glad zed doesn’t waste too much time on it.

    Windows is more than viable as development platform, ask Valve why they need Proton in first place.

    Breaking an illegal monopoly takes decades but, as it happened with Internet Explorer 6, it's finally happening for Windows.

    70% market share, plus all the games that Proton depends on.
