I don't want Zed to focus on accommodating WSL's quirks.

I would like Zed to have feature parity with VSCode from 6 years ago. Working well over SSH or WSL, which it currently doesn't, is a part of that, even if I don't use that everyday.

I am a paying user, and have no plans to stop supporting them financially, but I wish they locked in and went through GH Issues queue, starting from the oldest.

Of course vs code accommodates wsl. Same company. Personally I couldn’t care less how badly MS wants to make windows a viable development environment. It’s more irrelevant every day. I’m glad zed doesn’t waste too much time on it.

Windows is more than viable as development platform, ask Valve why they need Proton in first place.

Breaking an illegal monopoly takes decades but, as it happened with Internet Explorer 6, it's finally happening for Windows.

70% market share, plus all the games that Proton depends on.

And trending down.

IE6 was 97%, how did that work out?

Are you saying that games get released on Windows a lot because developers prefer Windows as a development platform?

Yes, that is the favourite platform for game studios, and console devkits.

How about accommodating basic fundamentals like file change notifications not being universally reliable?

All my code lives on the other end of a Samba share. Guess what doesn't work reliably.
