I no longer code, except for the occasional fun and the usual front-end for marketing and documentation pages. This is why I wanted an editor that I could load up my entire drive or each of the entities, and that wouldn’t hang up on me. I’m beginning to learn VIM and will likely retire with it but for now I was looking for something I'm familiar with.

Zed came really close to being an open-source editor I can use for now, and the Sublime Text key binding was an icing on the cake. Unfortunately, with its regular nudges to do this, do that, install this, install that -- I gave up on it and went back to Sublime Text. ST is just there, super-fast, loads anything I throw in, and just silent - no nothing.
