ST is a text editor while Zed is an IDE. I wish there were something like VSCode that is very modular but written in native. But VSCode is good enough and it is my daily driver.
- pjmlp 1y agoFor those on Windows, which is the topic at hand, UltraEdit and Notepad++. I disagree Zed is an IDE, it is quite far from InteliJ, Borland/Embarcadero, VS, XCode, Eclipse, Netbeans... If it is about adding enough plugins until it eventually becomes one, then any programmer's editor is an IDE.
- trenchpilgrim 1y agoMy line is - if I can compile, run and debug my program through the editor UI instead of a terminal, it's an IDE.
- pjmlp 1y agoAs I said, then any programmer editor is an IDE, including UltraEdit and Notepad++.
- trenchpilgrim 1y agoNotepad++ has a debugger UI? One that goes beyond running a terminal inside a pane?
- pjmlp 1y agoIt has plugins....and about 30 years of ecosystem history. Try to use Zed to debug Go code.
- trenchpilgrim 1y agoI'm literally doing that right now. I can set breakpoints and graphically step through them in Go files.
- pjmlp 1y agoYeah, thanks to https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol
- niutech 1y agoSublime Text can run code from its UI too. IDE is much more full-featured, like VS vs VSCode or IntelliJ vs Fleet.
- doodpants 1y ago> ST is a text editor while Zed is an IDE. Zed is the new emacs?
- miroljub 1y agoNo. In Emacs you can write a simple one line script and change anything. In Zed, you need to write a full blown plugin, and can change only what the Zed authors exposed through their plugin API.
- niutech 1y agoThere are always: Vim and Emacs.
