The problem is that if you run it on your API in a week you might pay 30$ the whole idea of cursor is that you pay fixed 20$ and save tons of money like this
@@yuval_kahan ya api can be costly, i like using it on Cursor composer too though so I’m still spending api credits. But like i said Composer makes Cursors DX top notch rn imo

Zed is still very new, and it feels like it too. And this isn't a bad thing, as it is actually a very good thing. It has the potential to become one of the best in my opinion, it just needs time to evolve. And evolving it is fortunately, as the github project page is constantly being committed to. Its a great project, with potential. We will see in the future if it will be more worth it to actually switch from the typical vscide experience to zed.
The problem that I see with no vscode-based editors is they lack most of the extensions most developer use, and therefore I wouldn't use it as the experience will be worse.
I don't understand why so many RUclipsrs think we need to see their disembodied heads floating around the screen blocking content... 🤣 Thanks for sharing, but consider dropping the selfie video.
Nice video. I love Zed as a long time user. The speed of it makes me very happy. I get motivated when my project opens less than a second and I can switch between projects without needing to keep all of them open in the background. Zed also has a very good collaboration features like voice chat and etc even though I don't use them. But I like it having a feature where I can add notes for my projects and keep the todo in there, my ideas there and even create a chat to discuss things with others. To me Cursor just feels like a modded VSCode with bunch of useless AI. I mean AI writing the whole app is great but not actually great when it can't in the end. It makes many errors, sometimes writes bad code and I need to re-write. This just feels like a time waste. I want my AI to be a tool not a framework for now. Maybe in the future, we will have better AIs and I can finally use AI to make bigger parts of my coding project.
@@unitythemaker Yes thanks for the indepth comment on your view after using it for so long. I’m fairly new to it compared to my usage of Cursor. I did get that feeling from Cursor, I actually preferred VS code until their composer feature which at the moment is unique. Yes I meant to cover the chat and collab features, I do like how Zed is different, and the founder seems great from what I’ve seen. And yes I agree, can’t fully rely on any AI tool for real complete projects at the moment, def getting closer though. Excited to see how both tools progress, thanks for watching
Zed feels lighter because it's written in a compiled language (Rust) instead of JavaScript, which is a lot more complicated in how it turns into CPU instructions at runtime.
Only one problem with zed is in the right side chat panel you can not implement code directly from there to coding space or in the actual files. And on the coding files section you cannot have context from all the files.
@@HemangJoshi ya definitely not as refined as something like Cursor, still a newer ai tool though so it could def improve + it’s open source. I do like a lot of things about Cursor though

That's just VC money, if you've seen with Uber and Lyft eventually it runs out and then you pay full price.
Exactly. I found it cheaper just to use cursor than just paying for every premium individual model.
I paid 7$ per hour running on API

@@gonzalobruna7154 ya i agree, i personally probably wouldn’t switch fully over for reasons like this
Jetbrains ides mostly gives you those features out of the box though
If only there was some kind of technology to make extensions really quick and easy to write, like some kind of smart coding assistant! :)

After it compiles it should automatically open or is there another command i need to run?🤔
I did this an it works but do you have to build it every time? Thanks for this.
@@stannylou1636 no prob. I believe so, but i haven’t tried finding an alternative way yet
after installing zed successfully, can I remove the SDK or VS installer ?

I couldn't get Claude 3.5 Sonnet to run for free. It asks for an API key.
@@RahulBhalley You got to sign up for Zed and then use Zeds Ai model - lmk if that works
@@joshfpocock Are there usage limits? And what does this allow us to use, does it include Sonnet?
what cli he used? sorry i'm just start to learn

Yesterday I installed zed, I tested it on Astro projects It was very super fast but it looked like a crap.
I love zed
