Zed makes coding fun again! It's hard to go back to other IDEs and Electron-based editors after using Zed, because you start noticing how slow they are and how much time is spent processing your input and redrawing the UI. As a bonus, it's the only editor that I can be productive with on my 10 year old Macbook.
It also has one of the best in class Github Copilot and OpenAI API integration implementations which easily competes with one of VSCode.
Also having collaboration and collective development as a first class feature is nice.
Super fast IDE. It launches fast, linter and compiler feedback is instant. Really impressed with the product, so much so that it is my go-to for Rust projects.
It is fast and memory efficient. For enhancements, I would appreciate further guidance on vim configuration and the addition of more extensions is always welcome.
I've used Zed for almost a year now. It's head and shoulders better than any other editor on the market as far as speed, responsiveness, and simplicity of UX. It's clear that the Zed team thought about the editor from first principles rather than tacking on a lot of random "features." I even write blog posts in Zed.
Impressed with this fast Rust-based coding editor. Love the simplicity and clean interface. Highly recommended for developers seeking efficiency and elegance in their tools.
After about 2 weeks of use and a direct comparison with VS Code, Zed wins hands down! Extremely fast, beautiful to look at and great in productive use. Please keep it up!
One the fastest graphical user interface based editors out there. The folks at Zed are on to something spectacular. They don't only want to create the most performant editor of all times. They also want to disrupt how developers collaborate and discuss code. I worked with the them for six months and I have to say they are really great people too.
