These days I’m using VSCode but I’m starting to get back into Emacs. Doom Emacs looks like the number one contender. Why Emacs? Gnu Emacs was my very first editor in college and many of the keyboards are cached into my memory. ![]()
Seems like Zed removed Elixir syntax highlight option, which is there in previous versions. Anyone noticed?
Vim when using ssh
Visual Studio Code when using desktop
i mainly use VS code
I still see the Elixir plugin that I installed together with Zed - also still there after updating to the latest version of Zed 0.152.3.
Did a fresh install on Ubuntu 22.04 from Flathub version 0.151.1 Elixir plugin also available here.
Also on the website: Extensions - Zed
i recently switched from emacs to neovim
Trying cursor recently. It is not perfect but it is one of the hottest toys.
i’ve also been using cursor recently. its a fork of VS code with added AI utils. its pretty fun and sometimes useful too ![]()
cursor looks good
Been using Zed quite a lot lately. Fits the “snappy editor, with visual components” and vim-keybindings need quite well.
using vs code
I use VSCode, but I’ve been looking into modal editors for a few weeks and am currently trying out Helix on the side.
I’m really liking using the Zed editor but I tend to use VSCode as a fallback at this time. I recently published a PR for Zed to resolve the issue of Emmet expansions within H sigil and .html.heex files.
I’m really stack between Sublime Text and Zed recently. I can’t accept how they force AI stuff (it’s possible to configure it of course). The limits are really stupid. They allow for only 50/month, but since one question could take few you are at the limit within just a few minutes! This is not enough to test and create a constructive opinion. ![]()
On the other side I was trying to setup a local LLM. Maybe I’m incompetent, but for some reason local LLMs are completely unusable comparing to what limited options gives you in said few minutes. It’s not like you have an option that you either use a lot of local resources or pay some provider for it, but in fact you have to pay for a feature which looks very bad. ![]()
It would be amazing if someone would write a guide how to properly setup a good local LLM on Linux (for example using ollama) with zed editor. Maybe I’m just missing some configuration and the defaults are just not acceptable. ![]()
I have tried so much LLMs that I’m honestly exhausted. It’s like you do a lot of work and have absolutely nothing at the end. It’s very disappointing and after such experience if I hear that “AI” is going to take everyone’s job or destroy humanity I’m not sure how to give a constructive comment. ![]()
I am thinking of giving Cursor a try for the next few weeks ![]()
Is Helix working well for you?
I’m still going through the tutorial, but so far I really like what I’ve seen.
VSCode is a very common IDE.
But I got problem with it recently.
After it auto upgraded to the latest version, it has problem with ssh connection. It would disconnect after about one minute.
The workaround is to revert to a previous version and change from auto update to manual update.
So, I am looking at an alternative IDE besides VS Code.
what? it happened again?
I don’t use ssh connection so it’s good enough for me. I’m thinking about moving to something else like Zed. It looks very similar to VScode.
