I started using Zed in the last month and I had a feeling it would end up taking a lot of Neovim users. Neovim gets a lot of users who need better performance than VSCode, like me, but the config is such a pain and there was a gap in the market for a blazingly fast GUI editor which Zed looks like filling.

Supermaven still has some issues on Zed, but apart from that its been rock solid and ive fully switched from Neovim.

If you ever go back to Neovim, I’ve had a lot of fun with NVChad. I still had to configure a little bit for LSP but that’s part of the ethos - sane defaults and most stuff off by default for performance and to reduce clutter.

  • I have my Neovim setup the way I like it, the problem is every so often something breaks, and I have to dig back into the config and ive completely forgot how everything works. Theres just a complexity with neovim config that id rather not deal with, its a bad DX in this day and age.
