For me, the editor is still the most important component of my tooling. The AI features are secondary to my needs/wants when it comes to an editor. Zed is hitting all the checkboxes when it comes to performance and user experience (yeah, I care about that in my editor). I'm not a hardcore user of AI, but I do make use of Zed's inline suggestions and occasional use of Opus 4.1 through my Zed subscription. | ||

This is it, in terms of pure text editing zed is the best GUI land editor I've used. Not quite there with emacs/vim but it's a much more accessible environment and more convenient for typical workloads. | ||

I agree. I used to use vscode, then switched to Zed and used it for over a year (without AI). In February of this year, I started using Cursor to try out the AI features and I realised I really hated vscode now. Once Zed shipped agent mode, I switched back, and haven’t looked back. I very strongly never want to use vscode again. | ||
