I was using JetBrains for more than a decade. Then I got into Python as well and so was juggling between WebStorm, PyCharm, CLion and Intellij Idea. Zed has replaced the first three completely. Put the appropriate config file in project root for whichever LSP/linter/tool is running, and most of these warnings disappear.

Writing C in Zed is a wonderful experience. The LSPs surface errors in an manner that is very easy to view and edit.

My main issues with Zed are:

- Word-wrap: I prefer on-demand, and I haven't been able to figure out which setting triggers that. Of if it is even possible.

- Support for Devanagari and other scripts: I use it as a markdown editor to proofread old texts and it is inadequate for that purpose. Kate/Featherpad offers a superior experience for this, including the ability to zoom to see those visually difficult to parse conjunct consonants.

Going forward there will be one version of Jetbrains IDE and clion, webstorm, etc will be all just plugins.

A bit confused - Idea supports pythong and ts/js, why the need for three?
