Sublime user since 2014.
I tried vim and nvim. Its just more overall effort and I'm never as productive as with Sublime. I tried zed and it doesn't work with Linux. I briefly opened vscode but haven't tried it out earnestly yet.
I think its mostly muscle memory. I'm just too used to the shortcuts, workflow etc. You can teach new tricks to an old dog; I can learn and get used to another editor, but ultimately I always ask myself -- why? I have to get shit done and unless the new thing has some other benefit that compensates for the productivity decline in the first weeks/months/years, it will always be a hard sell.
- james2doyle 2y agoI hear you. Zed does supply a Sublime key mapping. But it isn't the same. There is something off about it. With all the investment in Zed and its GPU-based rendering, it still doesn't feel as snappy as Sublime to me!

- lbrito 2y agoI mean Linux. I know they offer a Linux build, I've tried it. It doesn't work out of the box on arguably the most popular Linux distribution. The "fixes" are doing a bunch of config I frankly don't have time for. https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/14204 https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/14204 https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/14237 https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/14237
