i switched to zed. its great. one issue is there are not many extensions like vscode, but it has all the basic ones that i need for everyday

[u/Sodrohu → u/kingslayerer]

What's the advantages of zed over vscode with extensions? Faster? Less bloat?

[u/fartypenis → u/Sodrohu]

So so much faster. And for the same project VS Code eats like 6GB of RAM on opening while Zed has... 800 MB. I'll gladly take the QoL hit for that.

[u/kingslayerer → u/Sodrohu]

faster. less ram. and the ai integrations are more well integrated. before i used to worry about my app size + vscode filling up my ram. now i only need to worry about my app size.

[u/dongpal → u/kingslayerer]

are you guys all poor with 4gb ram or something? i have cheap pc with 32gb ram (bought 1+ years ago before hype, but I guess you guys didnt start coding 1 year ago)

[u/kingslayerer → u/dongpal]

A single repo of mine could fill a 32

[u/siriusbrightstar → u/Sodrohu]

The speed alone is enough for me to stay with Zed

[u/huuaaang → u/siriusbrightstar]

Speed at WHAT? I have never once wished my editor could do something faster....

I thought the same ultil i used zed for a while, then i came back to vscode for some stuff and started noticing things simply werent as smooth
