I recently saw a video touting Zed (don’t you dare) as the new hotness IDE. The creator was someone who I respect a ton, but I was quite taken aback by some of the features they were demonstrating as though they were a big reveal. It went something like: “Ta-da! You can use vertical panes!” or “Ta-da! A fuzzy finder searches through your project!”.
Looking through the comments, I noticed a lot of positive engagement that made me wonder how something that I thought was relatively “solved” in Neovim could evoke such reverence and awe with a newer IDE.

+Taking the Plunge - NVim# The accessibility of VSCode is pretty unbelievable. There is a reason why 71% of developers surveyed on Stack Overflow use it. It has leagues of community support, and looks like it’ll be the predominant IDE for the foreseeable future.
But recently I decided that I needed something different.
When is it time to upgrade your toolset? I came to the realization that the limiting factor on how quickly and efficiently I could edit was my knowledge of VSCode.
