Is this editor still being developed? Sounds like a neat idea.

Seems like there are no commits in repo for more than a year now.

The situation is as follows: I've haven't doing very limited programming in general, as my job (which is more management now) no longer requires it. As a result I don't use Zed myself much these days. This may change in the future, but for now, also given my increasingly busy family life I don't see this change some time soon.

Yes, zed was a really interesting concept, but sadly I switched to atom for the vibrant dev community. It's possible to configure atom to be very zed-like, you can disable the file tree and tab bar, and navigate files and commands purely by fuzzy searching.

In fact it might even make sense to "port" zed to be based on atom just to benefit from the wide range of modules available for atom.

Similar story with me. I really liked using Zed, and it changed the way I like my text editor to work. I've switched to Visual Studio Code, which I use in a very Zed-like way.
