For some reason I've found myself wanting a "lighter VS Code" lateley, which is ironic considering I used VS Code for the past 10 years because it is so lightweight. So I've wanted to try out Zed, but it's just ... weird to go back to a closed source editor, especially one that's so focused on imitating copilot, which seems like an odd feature to shift most focus on.

Am I missing someone, or didn't they go open source last year?

Ah right, you're right.

It's that it doesn't have an installer for Windows. That's what I was stuck on.

I could just build it... I guess.

There's also community builds for Windows: https://github.com/deevus/zed-windows-builds
