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?

Top of my head switching between IntelliJ and Zed:

- Git UI is extremely barebones with no support for other VCS

- No merge tool or side-by-side diffs

- Configuration is all JSON

- Would be nice having a full file tree for the search editor instead of just the list; having the functionality split between a tab and the outline panel is quite clunky.

- Ability to move panels (files/git/console/debugger/etc) into standalone windows or other configurations (multiple docks per side, multiple copies of the same panel linked to a specific tab).

Zed is basically a slightly more featured text editor, so it does a good job when I just want to open something quickly and do small edits. So it's really replacing Sublime Text.

But I find myself hopping out to other tools when I'm using Zed which wasn't really common with IntelliJ. So I still want to use a proper IDE for proper development work.

The IntelliJ 3-way mergetool/diff viewer is best in class. I haven't found anything else that touches it.

Me either. I thought by now it would be standard UX everywhere, but that is very much not so.

Sublime Merge comes to mind, but I used it briefly before switching to JetBrains products.

Yeah, no, I tried that thinking it was going to be the JetBrains merge as a standalone product and it simply does not have the three-way sauce. Sublime doesn't even offer any way I can view a live base->left or base->right view as I do the merge does it?
