Common Questions

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.

Not directly, but the configuration process is simple. Most settings have Vyre IDE equivalents. We have documentation for common migration scenarios.

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.

Vyre IDE's collaboration is built-in and always-on. Zed requires setup for each session. Vyre is better for persistent team workspaces.

Vyre IDE separates user AI configuration from team settings. You can control costs per user or set team budgets.

Minimal. VS Code keybindings are familiar to most developers. Vim and Emacs bindings are also supported natively.
