Am I the only one who prefers stability instead of a constant rush of features in their text editors/IDEs? If it’s AI related I like them even less. I know I can stick forever with Vim, but damn, I tried Zed and it felt good.

- jswny 2y agoI agree. I actually use the AI features in Zed a lot, but there are things I really wish they would prioritize.

So it’s not surprising they’ve prioritized this work
