Common Questions
Is Vyre IDE built on Zed?
No, Vyre IDE is built on VS Code architecture. However, both are modern editors with Rust influences. The transition is smooth because both prioritize performance.
Can I import my Zed config files directly?
Not directly, but the configuration process is simple. Most settings have Vyre IDE equivalents. We have documentation for common migration scenarios.
Does Vyre IDE have the same performance as Zed?
Vyre IDE focuses on native desktop performance plus collaborative workflows and AI tooling. For pure single-machine performance tuning, Zed is still optimized for desktop minimalism.
How is collaboration different from Zed's live share?
Vyre IDE's collaboration is built-in and always-on. Zed requires setup for each session. Vyre is better for persistent team workspaces.
What about my AI model usage in Zed?
Vyre IDE separates user AI configuration from team settings. You can control costs per user or set team budgets.
Is there a learning curve switching from Zed?
Minimal. VS Code keybindings are familiar to most developers. Vim and Emacs bindings are also supported natively.
