Review Zed?

Reviewers mostly praise Zed for feeling unusually fast, lightweight, and pleasant to use, especially compared with VS Code and other Electron-based editors. They say it launches quickly, stays responsive on large files or older machines, and keeps a clean, focused UI without much bloat. AI features and built-in collaboration also get positive mentions. The main caveat is depth: several reviewers note a thinner extension ecosystem and lighter support for heavy workflows, while a founder from Product Hunt reported slow Python LSPs and incomplete Vim bindings.

Zed is fast, efficient, modern, and sleek. I love using Zed for developing many of my applications, regardless of the language, as it is so fast and clean, and its intelligent autocomplete feels superb. It's definitely one of the better editors out there. The only thing keeping me from using this as my only code editor is the powerful features of JetBrains editors.

I didn't realize how fast editors could be until I tried Zed. The extensions are not quite as comprehensive as the VSCode family but still covers most of my use cases. Just from those 2 things I think its worth 5 stars. The AI integration for suggested edits and "vibe coding" i think is better than Copilot, but not quite as good as Cursor/Windsurf. I also like everything they are doing with Open source

I've used Zed for almost a year now. It's head and shoulders better than any other editor on the market as far as speed, responsiveness, and simplicity of UX. It's clear that the Zed team thought about the editor from first principles rather than tacking on a lot of random "features." I even write blog posts in Zed.
