I’ve also recently switched (largely) from Vim to Zed and I also think that Zed is in many ways great.

At the same time it’s been pretty frustrating to use an editor that is spending so much time building AI integrations, REPLs, and so fourth when basic things like cut and paste and common Vim motions still have so many bugs.

I’d love to see them prioritize getting the basics solid first.

Yeah I feel the same way. The fact that Zed uses the system clipboard as the default register in vim mode, for instance, made it impossible to use in practice for me -- having every yank replace my clipboard was a bit of a nightmare!

And then there's me that configs vim to use the system clipboard by default

I don’t know. That feels perfectly reasonable for what I imagine is 99% of all developers, so while sad, I can imagine why that use case is not very high on their list of priorities.

You can have multiple things saved on your clipboard at once.

[ubercore]

There is a setting for that.

To be frank I don’t the majority of us care about these collaboration features. We just want a way to write code that is performant but makes it easy to leverage existing language servers.

I want to pay for Zed for what it is. I want to sponsor a new code editor. I have zero interest in paying for a SaaS collaborative editor.
