I recently started using Zed and I'm pretty impressed so far. Performance is good. Remote editing via ssh works great and less resource-intensive than vscode.

Trying to daily drive it until I run into something it struggles with.

Yep, same here, first GUI editor that has ended up sticky enough. I've used just plain vim (or vi, back in the day) in a terminal. Occasionally tried out some GUI editors every few years, but none of them were suitable/sticky enough for my taste. Now I've been using Zed for 8-9 months, almost daily when coding vs. just testing/hacking something, and haven't fallen back to vim in a terminal for coding tasks yet.

It definitely feels better than cursor to me.

However, Cursor Tab keeps bringing me back.

That, and the limited plugin ecosystem. Not that I haven’t found the plugin I needed (elixir tools) but it doesn’t let me configure which warnings to hide so I have too many annoying credo warnings I don’t care about.
