Can someone help me understand the pricing of zed? $10 per month- $5 credits for AI credits. This credits can be used for claude code / codex inside zed or should I manage different api keys for codex/claude code?
I'd wish a better model or system would go live for the inline suggestions. The Zed ones are so trash compared to Cursor's it is just laughable.
An example is that when I have a module like Namespace::SuperAbcModule in a file at namespace/super_abc_module.rb and I rename the file to namespace/super_module.rb, Cursor will immediately suggest to change the module name to `Namespace::SuperModule`, Zed won't.
Also Cursor will suggest updates to lines throughout a file whereas Zed sometimes doesn't even look ahead 1-2 lines.
Having Claude Code and Codex built into the sidebar is hardly better than having them running in a terminal. I wish they'd invested all this time and effort improving the inline suggestions.
Right click on the file in the project tree -> rename will rename references. Or in the code right click -> rename symbol. Not sure why you need to bring AI into it.
Why is that something AI has to do? PhpStorm does this, without Ai, since forever ago. And updates references everywhere, even inside strings or doc comments.
Firstly, I don't care what tech does this, as long as I can get good suggestions.
Secondly, it was just one example that came to me from comparing this the other day. You could compile a long list of examples where Cursor gives better completions than Zed does.
It's better to learn the tools that you are using. Renaming is part of LSP servers and Zed has no control over them. They are unique for each language. Using AI for this is a waste of resources, especially when renaming affects tens of files. It's not reliable, slow and not determenstic.
I otherwise like Zed way more than the vscode-derivatives but yeah, the edit predictions are just not even close. And it's laggier feeling despite the lower quality.
It's human nature to start trusting AI suggestions just because they look good enough without actually checking them. That's going to lead to massive issues down the line the more it goes on.
Snippets are more useful.
If you're doing something repetitive, a vetted snippet does wonders. Learning how to make your own snippets with appropriate tab stops is a seriously underrated skill.
High competence in regex search-and-replace, multi-cursor, and snippets is an amazing combination.
Zed has a generic interface to agents (ACP). This is a bridge between the ACP api and the codex api so that it integrates cleanly inside Zed in mostly the same way the other non-codex supported agents do

Cool. If Zed supported git worktree diff highlighting, I'd be using it.
If you are OK with another tool to complement it, I found GitButler via Hacker News recently and it looks promising.

Doesn’t GitButler require a specific workflow?
For me it's the missing Jupyter support that's preventing me from switching
What do you mean exactly? Diffs between multiple worktrees? I've found the current diff view fairly useful.
For me it's the lack of c#
c# extension is available, uses Omnisharp LSP
https://zed.dev/extensions/csharp
Omnisharp is extremely slow. It becomes unusable for larger projects.
and for me it's the dart debugging!
we all want something.
Yes. Can you imagine being the person responsible for gathering user feedback from socials, for a product like this? oof.
It’s quite the experience
I love that this was completely overshadowed by "Zed works in Windows!"
This team ships so much that if they sold an LTS product, it means they'd support the release for 24 hours.
Let's hope agent CLIs adopt the ACP protocol, instead of having to do hacky shims.

Yes, why just hit tab for everything when you can memorize 50 context dependent keyboard shortcuts?
That doesn't sound like it needs AI. JetBrains was doing that before the AI wave.

Agreed. Zed is my daily driver and I love it, but the autocomplete is not good. I end up disabling AI altogether.
Probably for the best.

Yup true, replying to increase visibility in case Zed team is looking at this post. Love the editor otherwise.
This is what holds me back from Zed.
Is it just a GUI service for codex?

I like how it integrated it
Product video is more saying about the FPS.
I watched the video in the linked post and I don't think it said anything about the FPS.
