Well, I’ve given it about a month, but I don’t think I can deal with how unfinished zed is as a daily editor. Gonna have to find something else. Is now the time for me to finally get into vim or emacs ?

(Probably not, I do like a desktop UI and use the mouse a lot)

@hlame both vim/neovim and emacs have non-terminal versions and mouse support, if that helps.

@benjamineskola it might! Is there a ui version of either you prefer? Or a resource you recommend for exploring them?

@hlame I think the default UIs are probably the best choices (for original Vim and for Emacs). For neovim there's no built in GUI, but there are a couple of different options: vimr and neovide, possibly others — I'm not sure if there's much to choose between them (other than maybe platform support).

Resources-wise I'm not sure what to recommend. They both have builtin tutorials for the basic movement/editing/etc controls. Beyond that personally I just learned incrementally when something seemed worth improving or whatever.

There are a few 'starter kits' (Doom Emacs, Spacemacs, Lazyvim, maybe a couple of others), which mostly I've avoided personally because it's a bit sheltered from the default experience; but they might also be closer to what you want if configuring your editor isn't a hobby of yours.
