I tried it out briefly, and it seems promising so far! Zed reminds me a lot of Lite [1] and its community successor Lite-XL [2], which are also "built like a videogame" using a custom renderer and ui engine.

GPUI used for Zed is mentioned as hybrid immediate and retained mode UI framework[2]. [1]: https://caseymuratori.com/blog_0001 https://caseymuratori.com/blog_0001 (fist post on his blog!)
