My complaints:
No Claude code hooks support at the time of this writing. As someone who leverages this somewhat heavily this is why I don\u2019t really use it all the time. I actually find it to be somewhat of a feature at times because I can simply run the thing through Zed if I want to temporarily run with no hooks.
Performance is noticeably degraded presumably because of the \u201cACP\u201d protocol they invented. I usually work either directly in Claude terminal window using its edit tools or using repoprompt\u2019s mcp editor tools and both are noticeably faster than running in zed.

Conceptually it\u2019s pretty well done. Provides some better visualization over running Claude code in the terminal and really aligns with the close supervisor style I like to work with. I really like the follow feature that brings the editor along with the agent.
