I tried to use Zed but the text rendering on macOS was so painful that I didn't get far. Hopefully they'll address so I can give it another go in the future.

What’s the issue exactly? I’ve been using it on macOS for a few months now and while it has its issues, text rendering hasn’t been one of them.

Text looks very blurry when compared to Sublime Text with the same font family and size. There's an active issue about it on GitHub with screenshots.

Such is life using macos on low dpi screen. A lot of apps render blurry texts :(

It was definitely a lot worse than any other application I use on a 1440p 27-inch screen.
