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 uses a fraction of the memory of VS Code and is much faster to launch.

VScode starts very quickly for an electron app. MS did a great job there.

Memory usage of the IDE doesn't matter much when your language servers can eat 10s of gigs of RAM.

> for an electron app

But the comparison here is broader than electron apps...
