alt Hacker NewsI do wish they'd focus on closing the gap to Jetbrains by implementing the QOL features that are missing. I understand they have to do what VC wants to see, but this agentic stuff is so tiring.

Agreed. It still feels like Zed is only good for writing scripts.
I give them a try about twice a year. I write a lot of Rust which should be squarely in their wheelhouse.
This last time I was pleasantly surprised to find they mostly fixed their SSH remote editing support. But then it started truncating rustc inline error messages and I couldn’t figure out how to view the whole thing easily. When you’re just trying to get something done little bits like this can add up quickly. Punted back to Cursor for now.
