Zed Reviews

Reviewers see Zed as a notably fast, lean editor that opens quickly, stays responsive on older machines and large files, and avoids the bloat they associate with VS Code or other Electron tools. They also praise its clean UI, built-in collaboration, and solid AI features, with some saying its edit suggestions beat Copilot for parts of their workflow. The main caveat is breadth: users repeatedly note a lighter extension ecosystem, and a founder from Product Hunt reports slower Python LSP and incomplete Vim bindings.
