This team cooked. I'm picky with code editors and IDEs. I've lived in Neovim since college when I created Tropical Tidbits. VSCode or agentic forks of VSCode have been endlessly frustrating in terms of performance, interactions between key mappings and focused UI elements, or being vendor-locked into a specific agent harness.
My first impression of Zed is that I can solve all of these problems. You can feel the effects of Rust-based UI on performance, you can bring your own agent, you can fully customize keymaps and UI behavior in a way that actually works, and its sane defaults seamlessly integrate with local environments.
This is not an ad/sponsorship - I'm just genuinely excited to come across a tool this functional and adaptable to the rapidly-evolving way in which I do development work. Kudos to the team!

We've shipped more than a thousand versions of Zed, but all of them began with zero. Today, that changes. zed.dev/blog/zed-1-0
