Sadly, I came back to using VS Code recently. There's a lot to like in Zed but imo that decision to write their own rendering framework is unfortunate, because of ridiculous problems in Linux still not resolved like poor font rendering, especially on low-DPI screens, or visible lags of UI which is being developed to be blazingly fast. So far, VS Code is faster for me.
Remember that Zed hasn't reached 1.0.
On other platform, it is much faster and consume much less battery. Just like ghostty, to me the most attracting feature is knowing my editor/term is not backed by a browser engine.
Yeah, except that the specific terminfo needed for ghostty isn't installed anywhere on the boxes you ssh into ... you need to manually install it on every single one of them.
That in and of itself makes it truly painful to switch to ghostty.
And there are still a lot of other issues, like e.g. building the tip is a freaking nightmare of dependencies and weird issues (hard reliance on specific versions of the zig compiler and of something called "blueprint compiler", etc...)
Not ready for prime time by a mile IMO.
As for $TERM, you can simply default it to `xterm-256color` which is more than enough
