I've been meaning to try Zed but haven't gotten into it yet; it felt hard to justify switching IDEs when I just got into a working flow with VS Code + Claude Code CLI. How are you finding it? I'm assuming positive if that's your core IDE now but would love to hear more about the experience you've had so far.


If you are Claude Code user, you will likely not enjoy the version integrated into Zed. Many things are missing, for example, no slash commands. I use Zed, but still run Claude Code in the terminal. As an editor, Zed is excellent, especially as a Vim replacement.


Oh interesting, that’s good to know. Thank you. I might try that combination - I like using the Claude Code CLI so hopefully less of a painful transition.


I guess I am a weirdo because I never used Claude Code until Zed added it. At least Zed has a built in terminal emulator to boot.
