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.

Consumes lots of resources on an M4 Macbook. Would love to test it though. If it didn’t freeze my Macbook.

Edit:

With the latest update to 0.185.15 it works perfectly smooth. Excellent addition to my setup.
