   Fair point. Maybe I should have said something about modern fonts not being properly hinted for windows instead of placing all the blame on the OS.

   I installed Zed and tested out a bunch of fonts on my 1440p monitor. It looks decent, but not great. I think that's more a byproduct of Windows' awful font rendering in general though moreso than a Zed specific problem. VSCode is no better.

   Seems like the only way to get high quality font rendering these days is a 4k+ display.

   I agree that certain schemes overdo it with highlighting, but I disagree with his statements that things like function calls and keywords shouldn't be highlighted. Basically, if everything is important then nothing is; but I still want my code to be easily scannable. Right now I'm using using a version of Solarized that uses the default VSCode syntax highlighting and it's been pretty great.

   Their documentation was also abysmal the last time I used their product.

   My biggest problem with it now is the official React team pushes it as their framework of choice. Back when it used the Pages Router and wasn't trying to push everything into server components, etc., it wasn't terrible but I can't help but feel bad for any newcomers trying to learn web development.

   I switched to Astro from Next for most projects and haven't looked back. It's such a breath of fresh air to use.
