I switched from VSCode to Zed and I’m a huge fan! They don’t have support for Jupyter notebooks yet so I have to use Spyder for those but I love how easily Zed runs and how configurable it is.

Also half my workspaces are on remote servers and Zed lets me switch between remote and local workspaces easy which I appreciate.

Reading the article, I thought every positive mentioned is also in VS Code, but VS Code has a larger more mature community.

What drew you to Zed over VS Code?

VSCode is currently more complete than Zed but Zed is more configurable. Also I suspect that Zed will improve rapidly and VSCode is mostly already plateaued due to Zed being new and open source and VSCode being old and made by Microsoft.

Also I’m not immune to hype I suppose
