I used Zed for a while. The biggest performance improvements I noticed, compared to VS Code, were in start-up times and the opening of files. Sure, Zed feels snappy in those areas, but I feel VS Code is simply not that bad speed-wise when it comes to everyday coding. Especially, in the era of M1 Macs. Zed may win the battle in the longer term, but I feel slow performance has to truly annoy the fuck out of the user to convince them to make the switch. Right now, I am sticking with VS Code.

Unfortunately Zed lacks good defaults (like a way to change tabs without the mouse) and certain vs code features like snippets. Makes it difficult to transition a team which has been dependent on Vscode and which has absolutely no interest in spending our days configuring tools

- satvikpendem 3y agoI've witnessed both scenarios, yes. In contrast, vim simply works.
- mountainriver 3y agoThe ecosystem around VScode is so hard to beat. I found their AI features far more limited than what I have available in vsc. Community usually wins
