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.

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!

Use it in my stack alongside with VSC. This is a great editor and shows a lot of promise. However, there is still a lot of things to improve and fix. Due to some bugs at the moment, I'm unable to give it a 5 star yet, but I definitely recommend it to everyone. Even if you are currently using a different editor, still consider just downloading it and seeing how it feels.
