Me as I read through the main page: this keeps getting better.

Goes to download it

oh…

Like, for real, wtf

Don't worry! I was also frustrated by the fact that there is only a macOS version available, but after a little digging, I found this on their FAQ:

Q: What platforms does Zed support?

A: As of now, we only support macOS.

[...]

As a general timeframe, you can expect us to begin work on supporting these platforms [Linux and Windows] after Zed is open source, but before version 1.0. Any news will be posted to our platform-tracking issues.

See also this issue. It seems like they have already begun making a Linux version.

Though I don't really understand why they chose MacOS as the first platform to support.

Probably because they use MacOS.

@Asudox @randint Probably they only own macs and they naturally decided to begin the development there.

I looked for it in nixpkgs yesterday and was confused as to why it wasn't there 😮‍💨

I’m using Pulsar now which is just Atom but updated.

It's excellent as an all-purpose IDE.
