Zed is so great, I do wish they would focus just a little bit more on bringing the UI just a bit more up to parity with VS Code, I would switch full time.

What do you feel is missing from the UI?

I feel like the UI is not as smooth as VSCode. There is a slight lag when scrolling.

Wait what? Isn't a super fast UI one of their main selling points, what led them to write their own rendering in Rust?

...and now they lose to a web app?

I have no idea what they're talking about. Maybe they're used to a smooth scroll animation in VS Code or something? Zed feels snappier/lighter in just about every way to me.

No kidding. It is /so/ fast. It has remote development like VS Code, and most of the features I use, so it's my main thing now. Claude Code was the only thing that made me wince, since I wondered if I was living in the dark ages. VS Code of course has many more extensions, but I don't use that many.
