Yeah apparently Zed was engineered for speed but I find it very slow in general, especially on startup.
VS Code can slow down as you add functionality, but Zed often just doesn’t have that functionality at all. So the proper comparison is “VS Code minus all extension-provided features” which is actually pretty fast.
Too bad VCs won't give you money for just building a fast editor.
Agree. Too bad it is impossible to have a sustainable, responsible business. Everything has to be to the moon, not to a sustainable future.
