    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?

      They aren&#x27;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&#x27;m happy to see someone trying a new approach here.

        I don&#x27;t want someone &quot;to make it simpler for developers to follow changes applied by an LLM in an ergonomic fashion&quot;. I want a text editor.

        I want &quot;VScode without the bullshit&quot;. That&#x27;s what I thought they were building.

          They&#x27;re a VC backed company, they aren&#x27;t building for the user at all. The VC is their user.

          Just need to see reality for how it is in the tech industry, products aren&#x27;t made for users anymore they&#x27;re mostly a ritual to please the VC gods. Bonus points if you&#x27;re disruptive and a net-negative toward society.
