Trying out Zed after more than a decade of Vim/Neovim

i'm fairly surprised that i fired it up, wrote some go code, and the lsp worked.

I too am growing tired of tinkering and want minimal configs. So much so that I had to force myself to stop using doom emacs in favor of neovim. Neovim setup is much simpler now that lua exists but i'd rather not tinker as much as I do.

Enabling/Disabling plugins is fun in a way when you wanna take the time to do that.

I might give zed a spin a few more times.

Can zed be run from a terminal over ssh or is it just GUI?

It’s only GUI, but you can have it perform the edits over SSH. So it appears to be all local for you, but the files are actually modified on the remote host.

This is the part that impressed me the most! I know other editors "support" this kind of workflow, but opening "remote projects" via SSH is so clean and intuitive in Zed! I love that when you pop the terminal open on a "remote" Zed window, it just opens right in your remote host directory where you would expect.
