The Gram Code Editor

It is not my project.

I was looking for a lite version of Zed IDE without AI integrations, collab feature, telemetry etc and suddenly found it _

I didn’t test it excessively yet, but definitely give a try.

If you already tried it, please share your opinions.

    I’ll try it. I still want to make a move off of vs code/codium. I keep zed and lapce installed to keep an eye on but at work everyone uses vs code and its familiar to everyone. I don’t know why more people don’t give lapce a try or more attention. Zed seemed like it would be corporatized in some way since the beginning. I can see why editors like Kate aren’t super adopted with the lack of plugins like vs code but it seemed like Lapce has a pathway to be as extensible

        it has some recent commits on github. I think it can regain momentum. nothing compared to zed. This Zed fork may be suitable but I think it’d be better if community members went and gave lapce another go rather than continuing to base on and effectively be contributing to zed

    I remember reading about zed being the up and coming editor when Atom was sunsetting. I’ve been using Pulsar Editor, but is there a particular reason to jump ship to Zed/The Gram?

      I used Zed for a few months a while ago. It feels quite fast, good extension availability even for how new it was, and offered a comparable experience to VSCode, but without the bloat. Sadly it quickly started going down the AI editor/LLM infested route and most development went into that, meaning actual fixes and improvements were getting slower (part of my reason for leaving it). It also introduced a few unwelcome changes to their ToS, starting the forks you see today. But overall it was a pretty nice editor, it gets out of the way and lets you focus on work instead of tinkering.

      Had to stop using it due to an intense graphical flickering when running on Sway that took way too long to fix, so I switched back to neovim while waiting for a fix and just stayed there.

      I used to use Atom back when , it was ok. Zed / Gram just feels more lightweight and performant , yet having everything you need without any customisation ( I never tried ai or collaboration features in Zed) - nothing live changing, just a good editor for rust . Anyway, I switched to helix and after some configuration it provides much better experience.
