What's your reasoning for this?

Second this, it's fast and they have good privacy practices as far as I'm aware.

It does just work though, which is what other code editors need to get that kind of adoption, I'd love to be able to say I use vim or Emacs but get frustrated when I'm trying to get work done and things keep breaking, I finally feel I have everything configured and then realise I'm missing something else that took me 3.5 minutes to set up in VScode, half of that is due to the large community.

Zed works pretty well out of the box but is missing a lot of features that will make it a viable replacement for me. I am excited about Zed and the way it works, it's super interesting and creative and id love to drive it daily someday, so much so that it's the first project I've really considered contributing to myself.

I don't like that VSCode is bloated, but I love that it takes five minutes to set up and contains nearly every feature I can think of.

I was skeptical at first, wondering why the hell I'd pay for search. I set up the trial of Kagi, and it's fast like the pages load instantly, the result knockouts are almost always useful and the standard results are usually highly relevant and useful.

Exactly this! I used to enjoy tinkering with my configuration a lot and then it got stressful as I kept finding new things to add or tweak and change and never ended up getting work done.

I love how simple sway is, even if I've added a few extra visual features with the fx version (at least it's pretty to look at). The configuration is basically set your used apps to keybinds, choose how you want windows to look and be spaced, add a few key bindings.

Name thing for jQuery and PHP... Though Laravel seems to have some good projects under its belt I don't find the system intuitive to work with.

It explains most of this on the features page of the site.

It's pretty snappy even on lower spec machines. I didn't notice any issues with scroll snapping.

What does setting fstab do there?

This kind of setup works best for me, a desktop environment with a tiling window manager on the top, that way I can use it like a normal desktop for most things and can hop back and forth between apps I use a lot all on the home row with the window manager.

Arch ecause of the large amount of software available on the AUR.

I set it up with SwayFX, Alacritty Firefox & Sway Lock. Slap your favourite text editor on there and you've everything you need.

Yeah I understand that but surely you have a list of hours you know you need almost every time?
