Review Zed?

Zed is praised for its speed, efficiency, and sleek design, making it a preferred choice for many developers. Makers from DockFix appreciate its fast and clean interface, though they still rely on JetBrains for certain features.

Overall, Zed is recognized for enhancing productivity and offering a seamless coding experience.

It's helpful for me, but I'm more curious about why it's called `Zed`.

You come to Zed because it is fast but you stay because it is simple to use and, let's say it, so easy on the eye and confortable to use all day long. UI is so important when you read all day Also the agentic approach is spot on for my use cases (security errors fixing)

The fastested editor, ever. This editor brings back the fast era of notepad++, VI level editing with lots of modern software language server stuffs yet no bloating at all. The electron based stuffs made us believe that the standard was them - nope the standard of quality and speed is Zed, love this IDE.

I use this every day. I've been using for quite a while and it's getting better and better. Much prefer this as it's not bloated and doesn't get bogged down in runaway processes.

Zed gives me everything I need, without getting in the way. The incredible speed and minimal design are exactly what I am looking for, it feels impossible to go back to another editor.

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.
