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?
They aren't proposing to replace git though. They are just attempting to make it simpler for developers to follow changes applied by an LLM in an ergonomic fashion. Not saying it will work well but I'm happy to see someone trying a new approach here.
I don't want someone "to make it simpler for developers to follow changes applied by an LLM in an ergonomic fashion". I want a text editor.
I want "VScode without the bullshit". That's what I thought they were building.
Then go get a text editor? They’ve been around for decades. Use sublime text for all eternity. Why even complain here when what you want is a solved problem?
I'm not satisfied with any of the text editors I've used (I've used all the big ones for a few years each).
Zed was a promising new direction I.e. VSCode minus the bullshit. But it's not getting the polish / productionisation it would need to actually be a better editor than the others. And now it doesn't look like it will.
