I comment out that JSONC line periodically when I feel like cherry-picking updates
My read was that they are pulling a Linus Torvalds with the Linux->Git move where both are innovations on their own, but work great together ( without dystopian universe instantiation )

As mentioned in other comments, it actually outperforms window management in general in many/most cases. Radically flexible and almost never gets in the way
Despite the article being salesmanship hype ( at WEF no less ) we are now in the time mentioned, and can feel this
The idea that the code is GOOD or even being used is not necessary to be saying that it exists, strewn everywhere
What I also have not used is vim emulation, though I have a vim background
As mentioned elsewhere, Zed is still very configuration-dependent to get the full power of it, and a lot of its functionality is never discovered for that reason
What pushed me to try it was Ollama integration which is not an afterthought, then I realized I loved it _way_ more than SublimeText, especially on performance, at first, then everything else once that won me over
I have ~10 running instances at any given moment, and >99% of the time never feel any lag, whatsoever
Another unexpected benefit is that terminals, code editor panels, and assistant chats, get to be sized and fit wherever you want, so it is also kind of a window manager... I often have more terminals open in Zed than in the Window Manager of the OS itself
Seems to solve a real problem which is growing rapidly, both in the old way and in the new way ... if it can overcome _slop_ in LLM chats, and the sheer enormity of code/data ahead. Trying to picture how coherence will survive.
With claims/hype/concern floating around that >90% of code will be LLM-generated within 3-6 months, with the insinuation/tone [1] that the same amount of code will be written by humans as now ( at least at first ) but LLM code will radically grow to dilute the space ( as is happening ) ... seems like DeltaDB being done right/well is going to be do-or-die on whether coherence remains possible!

Agreed it's bad. No basis for changing it provided. No premise for 'better' there. No actual thought
Pronoun and noun wordplay aside ( 'Their' ... `themselves` ) I also agree that LLMs can correct the path being taken, regenerate better, etc...
But the idea that 'AI' needs to be _stubbornly_ wrong ( more human in the worst way ) is a bad idea. There is a fundamental showing, and it is being missed.
What is the context reality? Where is this prompt/response taking place? Almost guaranteed to be going on in a context which is itself violated or broken; such as with `Open Web UI` in a conservative example: Who even cares if we get the responses right? Now we have 'right' responses in a cul-de-sac universe. This might be worthwhile using `Ollama` in `Zed` for example, but for what purpose? An agentic process that is going to be audited anyway, because we always need to understand the code? And if we are talking about decision-making processes in a corporate system strategy... now we are fully down the rabbit hole. The corporate context itself is coming or going on whether it is right/wrong, good/evil, etc... as the entire point of what is going on there. The entire world is already beating that corporation to death or not, or it is beating the world to death or not... so the 'AI' aspect is more of an accelerant of an underlying dynamic, and if we stand back... what corporation is not already stubbornly wrong, on average?
