So long, Zed — until next time.

I started using Zed, as soon as it launched, switching from Helix and Sublime. I welcomed the changes and accepted the risks of such a young tool.

I was drawn to the concept and the promise of a fast, ergonomic editor built for developers.

Lately, though, it seems the focus is shifting more toward building an AI client multiplexer —and that’s totally fair. The rapid rollout of AI support features makes that direction clear, and the user experience even fuzzier.

At the same time, those of us who just want a reliable, high-performance editor, and gd ergonomics for software development, feel a bit left behind.

That’s okay — maybe this is where all tools are headed. But until Zed settles on what it wants to be, I’ll be going back to Sublime, Vim, and Helix.

Thanks, Zed. It’s been fun. Wishing you all the best.
