I just say they shouldn't charge for it PREDICT EDIT.
The reason is that it's not even as good as the free ones.
I don't know why you've become such a fanatic, but if you want to support them you can donate.
Yes, windsurf and cursor will also work whitout AI, cause it just fork from vscode.
I like zed very much. If u dont like AI, then zed is best editor for you. (and for me if zed's AI is good enough)
Excuse me, can you read what I wrote? I didn't say zed editor is bad, I just said that zed's PREDICT EDIT isn't good enough, or at least it shouldn't charge for it.
Technically, Zed's Super Compete will almost never catch up with Cursor, or even as good as the free Windsurf.
If you look a little closer, you will see that the cursor and cursor completion requests are not initiated by the editor itself, which only interacts with the lsp.
Yes. They all come with an LSP, taking free windsurf as an example, when windsurf starts, it will start a process in /Applications/Windsurf.app/Contents/Resources/app/extensions/windsurf/bin/languageservermacosarm, This process is responsible for syntactic analysis of the current code's workspace and then local indexing. The editor communicates with LSP through localhost encoding through protobuf, including the current cursor, currently open tabs, recently viewed files, etc.
The LSP calculates locally based on this information, and if the inference cannot be completed locally, it will automatically extract the necessary information to interact with the server-side LLM. This ensures the intelligence of Super Complete.
However, ZED's Super Complete does not have an LSP. Instead, it interacts directly with the server, which runs a zeta model. This pattern is not smart, takes up a lot of bandwidth and more useless context, and lacks more useful information due to the lack of LSP support.
I hope my technical interpretation above will give you an understanding of why zed's super complete is technically backward. And, since ZED's LSP is configured by a third party, ZED itself does not offer its own languageserver, unless ZED is developing it now, but this is obviously difficult.
In this case, I don't understand why zed would charge for a feature that is clearly lagging behind.
You have to ask me why I know so much about this, because I am a member of Cursor, but I want a Zed Editor, so I want to customize an endpoint I developed by ZEDPREDICTEDITS_URL, relay requests to Cursor, to achieve powerful completion with Cursor in Zed. Obviously, it failed in the end. The above mentioned is the reason for the failure.
