Zed is incredibly snappy to open projects and search files but very basic functions like auto-complete (at least in Python and markdown) are still terrible, nowhere close to IntelliJ/Pycharm. Or maybe there is a very specific settings.json incantation that I am missing.
- ktosobcy 1y ago"hot take": it's snappy to open (open project) but it's mostly due to severely lacking any serious fuctionality besides showing the file... :/
- ccanassa 1y agoThat's why I still use two editors: IntelliJ for when doing "serious" work and Sublime when I need to edit random files or a huge JSON. I don't need anything in between.
- d4rkp4ttern 1y agoPretty much! I have like 5 zed windows open to quickly see files. And a pycharm window to actually be productive.
- johnfn 1y agoI’d like to know any IDE that rivals Pycharm for Python autocomplete quality. (I am genuinely curious, because I would prefer not to use Pycharm.) My understanding is that Jetbrains rolled their own LSP and no one else has yet matched it in quality. Though I don’t understand what you mean by markdown autocomplete.
- d4rkp4ttern 1y agoI meant basic text suggestions. I often write markdown documents inside an IDE to leverage the ai-suggestions.
- nextaccountic 1y agoI quite like Zed autocomplete but you can bring your own model and not use theirs
- d4rkp4ttern 1y agoThis is what I meant about the settings. There must be some setting that I am missing.
- nextaccountic 1y agoJetbrains didn't even implement LSP, they are in this business of providing IDE experiences before LSP existed
