This was my experience with the editor as well. For about 2 seconds, I admired how clean it was. I then struggled to read anything at all and haven't reopened it since.
(Edit to get ahead of the comments: I'm sure I can change it. Customization is important. Almost as important as good defaults)
- wj 1mo agoI tried zed for its vertical agent threads grouped by project (which Claude Code has since added) and had the same experience--even after trying a bunch of different themes. It felt like none of the dark themes had enough text contrast. Maybe my eyes are just getting worse...
- fusslo 1mo agoMy experience with Zed was installing it and giving up after spending 15 minutes or so making the settings sane It's probably just because I'm old
- dmix 1mo agoSame, I also found the theming didn't solve the UI issues with zed, where everything seems to blend together. Meanwhile I found Cursor managed to improve upon the base VSCode theme where I never felt the need to switch it.
