Review Zed?
Reviewers consistently praise Zed for speed, low memory use, and a clean, focused interface that feels less bloated than VS Code or other Electron-based editors. Users also like its built-in collaboration and strong AI features, though some see the AI tooling as good rather than best-in-class. The main caveat is ecosystem depth: several reviewers want more extensions and better Vim guidance. A founder from Product Hunt adds that TypeScript works well with minimal setup, but Python LSP performance and Vim bindings can be frustrating.

Built Pill Mom using Zed and it's been a game changer - the speed and AI features made development so much smoother. If you're a developer looking for a fast, modern editor, definitely check them out.
Lightning fast, minimal, and stays out of my way. Zed's speed and native performance let me focus on building Knowns CLI without waiting for my editor to catch up.
