Why do people use #zed? It really looks like the poster child of enshittification.

@sigismundninja I’ve used it and probably still will at various times. My other main IDE is Positron and editor is Helix. I like Zed cause it’s fast, has very good vim binding support and has some gui conveniences Helix doesn’t. Positron is not fast at all, but does have good features for what I want.

What don’t you like about it?

@adenoz
Never tried it. I used to be curious about it, but lately I've been reading a lot about its anti-features and out of control code base.

I'm an Emacs user. Really curious about Helix though. But also genuinely curious about why many people on Mastodon like Zed.
