Use Zed. VS Code is dead.
I've been using Zed for about a month and I'm very happy with performance the features. It guides you to setup only what you need, that was a problem with VSCode that would collect random plugins through time. I work regularly with Go, React, TypeScript, and I don't miss VSCode.
90% of the reason I use VSCode is the extensions. Zed doesn't have the ecosystem.
For VSCode I can get the official extension by the actual company doing $thing. With Zed I need to trust Random Person's extension that it doesn't have spyware or keyloggers in it.
"but but the company could!" yes, but they have a reputation to protect, releasing an official extension that leaks data is Very Bad. Random Person (if that's their real name) doesn't care, or does. I have no way of telling.
