What do you mean? It renders LaTex fine on Android.

Some LaTeX, but not all, especially for larger equations. I will admit it has gotten a lot better in recent updates, since it seemed thoroughly broken for quite a while in its early days.

I had a problem where ChatGPT rendered math to me from right to left. Sure thing YMMV

Norway isn't in the EU.

Compared to Sublime Text:

RAM:

213 MB Zed

41 MB ST

Storage:

406 MB Zed

52 MB ST

Startup time:

Zed is slower than ST (but only by a few milliseconds).

Also when you reopen ST it will remember how you've resized the window from last time whereas Zed won't.

Probably it helps that Sublime doesn't come with an AI agentic features, LSP, and a whole video-conferncing and screen-sharing client by default.

> and a whole video-conferncing and screen-sharing client by default

Haha wait what? Are you confusing Zed (the text editor) with something else? Surely it doesn't ship with video conferencing???

I haven't seen video but it does have voice. And similarly I don't think it's screen-share, it's just editor state syncing, so live collaboration. Still quite a lot.

There is a feature that lets you share your screen. It shows up for other participants in the collaboration session as a tab in the editor.

Probably referring to the collaboration tools. Zed has a bunch of stuff around remote pair programming with people.

It has a voice chat system built in as part if the collaboration tools. Personally I think they should remove the voice chat...

ST is a text editor while Zed is an IDE. I wish there were something like VSCode that is very modular but written in native. But VSCode is good enough and it is my daily driver.

For those on Windows, which is the topic at hand, UltraEdit and Notepad++.

I disagree Zed is an IDE, it is quite far from InteliJ, Borland/Embarcadero, VS, XCode, Eclipse, Netbeans...

If it is about adding enough plugins until it eventually becomes one, then any programmer's editor is an IDE.

My line is - if I can compile, run and debug my program through the editor UI instead of a terminal, it's an IDE.

Sublime Text can run code from its UI too. IDE is much more full-featured, like VS vs VSCode or IntelliJ vs Fleet.

As I said, then any programmer editor is an IDE, including UltraEdit and Notepad++.

Notepad++ has a debugger UI? One that goes beyond running a terminal inside a pane?

It has plugins....and about 30 years of ecosystem history.

Try to use Zed to debug Go code.

I'm literally doing that right now. I can set breakpoints and graphically step through them in Go files.

Yeah, thanks to

There are always: Vim and Emacs.

No. In Emacs you can write a simple one line script and change anything.

In Zed, you need to write a full blown plugin, and can change only what the Zed authors exposed through their plugin API.

No, that doesn't matter. I think you should be looking for how quickly it can get you a working environment for your favorite language not how long it takes to boot up once per reboot. If you want features the bits have to live somewhere. Look at it like a trade off, if you're just going to look at it, by all means, take a memory dump. But I find that a little bit hard to work with.

For me, as long as it's better than alternatives it's good enough. Especially if it's not running JS.

RAM does matter, especially when you have web browser with multiple tabs opened at the same time. Sublime Text or Notepad++ are powerful, yet much more lightweight than Zed. Not to mention Vim/Emacs.
