I like Zed. It's super fast and seems to be getting lots of improvement constantly.

My issue with it is when I use it on my codebase, it doesn't like my (probably old style) eslintrc. So it decides to go ahead and reformat my file on save :(.



You can disable this in your global or project settings, and even per language: https://zed.dev/docs/configuring-zed#format-on-save


I've seen a lot of similar complaints. I think it would be helpful when Zed sees a new codebase to offer an onboarding questionnaire and apply the settings that can't be auto-detected from the codebase itself: coding styles, linting configuration, etc.

I think this would be pretty trivial to fix zed’s autoformatter settings.


I would love to love Zed. In practice it’s everything I want.

But it’s a text editor first. And what I want, and it’s non negotiable, in a text editor is good text editing. Except font rendering is atrocious and broken on Linux ( what I use ) and on Windows ( what my employer force me to use ).

I understand it’s an alpha / beta. But still
