ZedSoftware Zed Industries
Zed has been my main graphical editor since May 2026. I like the speed, project-wide editing, built-in collaboration features, and the fact I can keep repository settings next to the code.

WezTermSoftware Wez Furlong
I switched from Ghostty to WezTerm in July 2026. It uses a custom Neon Afterglow colour scheme based on my Zed theme, Victor Mono, and the same tab shortcuts I had configured in Ghostty.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.
A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The bar shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Full and green is recent. It drains, and turns amber and then grey, as the post gets older.
What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The bar is empty after about:
A striped bar means the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no bar.
