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.

It’s built by the team that built atom which was way better than vscode but was mothballed when Microsoft bought GitHub.

They built it from scratch and not on electron bloat so it is a much better foundation. It will take a long time to reach parity with vscode but when it does it will smoke it.

Your comment is as insulting as it is indicative of a complete lack of knowledge about the world of editors and software development in general.

If you think "build by atom team" and "not electron" are any kind of serious advantage for any peace of software than your are the one who lacks knowledge about software development.

Made me think about: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43041923 where they mention Atom as well

It would be relevant that they were the team behind Atom if they seemed to understand the lessons of Atom...

Instead of learning from what worked and fixing what didn't, they just threw everything away and wandered off in some totally different direction. They did the reactionary kind of learning instead of the theory-building kind: https://xkcd.com/242/
