Things are changing so fast with these vscode forks I m barely able to keep up. Which one are you guys using currently? How does the autocomplete etc, compare between the two?

Zed. They've upped their game in the AI integration and so far it's the best one I've seen (external from work). Cursor and VSCode+Copilot always felt slow and janky, Zed is much less janky feels like pretty mature software, and I can just plug in my Gemini API key and use that for free/cheap instead of paying for the editor's own integration.

Zed doesn't even run on my system and the relevant github issue is only updated by people who come to complain about the same issue.

Don’t use windows? I don’t feel like that’s a terribly uncommon proposition for a dev.
