The problem with accepting VC money is they will eventually demand a return on their investment, which means that the forces that drive enshitification will eventually come for Zed in some form. I suspect that we'll see more and more features locked behind a paid subscription and the open core of the editor will become neglected over time.
Here I am on my free-as-in-freedom operating system, making commits with my free DVCS tool in my free programmable text editor, building it with my free language toolchain, using my free terminal emulator/multiplexer with my free UNIX shell. VC backed tools like Warp and Zed that seek to innovate in this space are of zero interest to me as a developer.
Please, tell me what it's like living in your free-as-in-freedom house,
feeding your free-as-in-freedom offspring? Eventually demanding a
return on your investment? The audacity!

Just use the full term "jerk-off," and there'll be no ambiguity.
Incidentally, nice guys masturbate too, so the term never made sense to me.

I'm glad you asked:

Pfft, you call that an emacs-HN integration? Something tells me you had
to bring in the browser at some point, either when reading this message,
or writing your reply. I am using nnhackernews. Now that's a real
emacs-HN integration.

The flaw in that metaphor is that elisp is a pretty suboptimal programming language for general-purpose programming. The standard library (in my limited experience) seems to use buffers as the base primitive and doesn’t help you very much if you want to do anything complicated without touching the current buffer.
Lego is a "programming environment," so avoid the obvious contrarian nit
of "must be more general," and accept there's no better
language-environment combo for constructing workflows than elisp and
emacs -- yes, it's leaps better than bash and term.

> I don't get using emacs for non text things
What do you mean by "non-text things"? You are dealing with the computer, it's all about text and mostly text. Sure, it might be encoded and digitized, but even structured binary - is all just text. Even when you give a computer voice commands - they are just synthesized audio form of fucking text. Even with "turtles all the way down" - it's all turtles made of text.
Have you seen the gif in the blogpost? With the transient that has "Move Forward/Backward", "Increase", etc. commands? The commands that you'd have to send to the specialized app anyway - Emacs or not. In what form? Fucking text, of course.
with the computer, it's all about text.
Boy, are you going to be blown away by Pac-Man.
