Hey! I really see the power in Zed and the extensibility and simplicity. Great approach.
I posted this above, but want you to see it:
Two areas where I think Zed might fall behind: Cursor Tab is REALLY good and probably requires some finetuning/ML chops and some boutique training data.
For composer, there's going to be more use of "shadow workspace" https://www.cursor.com/blog/shadow-workspace to create an agentic feedback loop/ objective function for codegen, along with an ability to navigate the language server and look up definitions and just generally have full context like an engineer
Also, cursor has a model agnostic apply model, whereas you all are leaning on claude.
Any plans to address this from the core team or more of a community thing? I think some of this might be a heavy lift
I really like the shared context idea, and the transparency and building primitives for an ecosystem
Thanks, I'll take a look at these. We aren't done–A good amount of the Zed team uses our assistant heavily every day so we'll continue to refine it.
I shared this with the team. I need to spend some time in Cursor to understand their mental model, it seems a lot of folks have come to enjoy using it.
We do also have extensibility planned for the assistant, you can see a taste of it in the slash command code if you want to check it out.
AFAIK you can use `/workflow` with some other models other than Claude, but I can't speak to which off the top of my head.
