VC Backed IDEs So I was as excited about Zed as other developers. I initially downloaded it, found it didn't do what I wanted, and left. And then a year or so later I came back after 1.0 and liked what I saw! It had good theming, some plugins I wanted, and was way faster than my VSCode at the time. They had baked in some AI features that I didn't really use but thought "whatever", the editor was mostly complete for what I wanted. Then came some news about a VC backed funding of the IDE, which I thought fine. Not great, but the IDE is still open source so it should be good. And now we've seen the development team go into creating their own VCS as one of the things the zed team provides. This is getting to be a little much for me.
