I'm trying #Zed. I like it a lot. It's got a #vim mode, it's very incomplete but it’s got the basics covered. It's got a minimalistic UI but it's unmistakably Graphical UI. It's got tabs, and status bars, and command bar. It also has a project navigator. A thing that I wanted in MacVim for a long time. Zed's also got a decent tools integrations. LSP works out of the box (I'm using ruby-lsp, it's OK). It autoformats code (with RuboCop in the Ruby case). It's got syntax-based task. This means I can run a single spec or a group of specs right from the editor (it's got built in terminal) and I don't need to fiddle with rspec arguments as I edit code. I can rerun the task on hotkey. Most of this was possible in vim for a long time but required extensive configuration.

There was one big issue though. Zed’s got a black icon. #MacVim’s icon is green. I was loosing my editor in the dock and app switcher all the time. So I fixed it for me. I made a green Zed icon.

Let me know if anyone has a similar issue and want an icon in colours you're used to.

BTW, try Zed. It’s great.

Here are a few more icons. Ping me for .icns files.

@pointlessone Maybe create an issue (or PR) referencing https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/tree/main/crates/zed/resources so the .icns don't fall to the wayside?

There's no option to change the app icon at the moment, I believe, but if there're multiple icons, and maintainers like the idea, they might as well save these to ship later

@ctietze It's really easy to change the icon manually on macOS. You can change icon of pretty much anything in Finder.

I might put it in discussions somewhere.
