The attempts at collaborative tools in Zed was always far more interesting to me than the AI stuff. Don't get me wrong, their AI stuff is nice and works well for me, but it's hardly necessary in an editor with how good Claude Code and others are.
But the times I've used the collaboration tooling in Zed have been really excellent. It just sucks it's not getting much attention recently. In particular I'd really like to see some movement on something that works across multiple different editors on this front.
I'm glad to hear they're still thinking about these kind of features.
The thing that made me go "oh damn" was finding out the debugger is multiplayer.
What does it mean the debugger is multiplayer?
Someone can debug your program over a remote session with no extra configuration.
Yeah, I am also glad that they are not exclusive about how you use AI which is what makes it better. They need to stop marketing the AI stuff it puts off some people. They need to advertise how versatile they are.
