I was using JetBrains for more than a decade. Then I got into Python as well and so was juggling between WebStorm, PyCharm, CLion and Intellij Idea. Zed has replaced the first three completely. Put the appropriate config file in project root for whichever LSP/linter/tool is running, and most of these warnings disappear.
Writing C in Zed is a wonderful experience. The LSPs surface errors in an manner that is very easy to view and edit.
My main issues with Zed are:
- Word-wrap: I prefer on-demand, and I haven't been able to figure out which setting triggers that. Of if it is even possible.
- Support for Devanagari and other scripts: I use it as a markdown editor to proofread old texts and it is inadequate for that purpose. Kate/Featherpad offers a superior experience for this, including the ability to zoom to see those visually difficult to parse conjunct consonants.
Going forward there will be one version of Jetbrains IDE and clion, webstorm, etc will be all just plugins.
I anticipate that Zed's rate of improvement will be faster that Jetbrains', a small team of highly competent developers always moves faster than a big business. I've been maining PyCharm/IDEA for years, but Zed has gotten so good that I already see few real reasons to come back.
is this really the case ? I thought they had given up on fleet
A bit confused - Idea supports pythong and ts/js, why the need for three?
> pythong
Glad I'm not the only one that frequently makes this typo.
You are not, I assure you.
The UI is a bit different for each and I got used to the differences I guess. I have a lot of projects and I pick one IDE for each and then do not deviate from it.
