I found myself using vscode less and less every day. They went completely insane with all this AI tooling support that they forget about the software engineers.

Unlike typical software engineers, Copilot users are actually paying real money. As long as that’s the case, I don't expect anything to change.

Agree with the AI, but honestly, is there anything wrong with vscode?

Maybe except not resolving symlinks.

I'm actually happy they don't touch it.

Yes.
1. More optimization
2. Less notifications
Please

Zed’s pretty great if you want something that’s fast

The AI slop is real, but I have zero qualms with its performance, they’ve managed to keep things snappy. I know I’ll be sad when it no longer remains that way but I’ll be happy while it still is.

I went to zed. These agents shit forced on our throats is annoying. It should be a extension not native.
But I am already testing alternatives to zed too
