I really need to find the time to properly test Zed. I'm mainly using PHP Storm and I love what it can do, especially when it comes to code discovery and auto-completion. I'm not a huge fan of having a bloated toolbox, I never use PHP Storm's included terminal or database browser.

Zed was super impressive when I first started it, but I don't know yet how it compares with PHP Storm.

PHP Storm is a proper IDE, Zed is a souped-up editor.

It wont be the same experience at all, the debugging and deployment stuff will be strictly inferior and the jump to code might be less impressive.

Zed has LSP support though, so if you have a good LSP then you’ll get some nice IDE features, but they’re not really comparable.
