i like zed, which uses claude 3.5 sonnet.

i had cursor then ran out of free credit. i had github copilot then found it too expensive.

given i'm a software engineer i'm basically looking for free. a.i. is like the t-shirt of the digital world, as in, i don't care where it comes from, just give me a free one when i use your product.



The problem I had with Zed is that it does not offer the needed extensions like Java Task Runner. It doesn't offer anything at all except code completion and syntax highlight in my experience.

It's very fast though.


haha! i basically only open zed when i want to a.i. code.

when i want to manual code i use visual studio code.
