    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?

      It&#x27;s funny, zed started out really refreshing, and now it&#x27;s degraded to the point where it&#x27;s fairly unusable. Regularly it would tie up tons of resources on my fairly beefy laptop. I switched back to sublime and it is a breath of fresh air, I didn&#x27;t realize how slow zed had gotten. It seems like maybe they lost their way a bit, but I recognize that also they need to make money presumably, and it&#x27;s hard to do that with a large team and a focused product.

        It has degraded? In what way? It sounds like your issues could be caused by LSP servers going rogue. Zed itself has been perfectly stable for me since I started using it as my default editor ~1 year ago. The only thing I didn’t like were some default layout changes that were trivial to revert.

          It is randomly consuming high CPU on my mac as well, without any LSPs. Getting annoying.

            Yea I figured it was my LSP but when I disabled it, it wasn&#x27;t resolved. I didn&#x27;t debug it, I just switched.
