Product

The Zed IDE is really growing on me.

Starts up super fast, editors and terminal tabs tile smoothly, keyboard shortcuts are almost one-to-one with VSCode / Cursor, and MCP servers / LLM providers are just a single settings panel away. No extensions to install, config files to edit or environment variables scattered all over your project directories – just turn it on or paste an API key and it’s ready to use.

Cursor will walk so Zed can run. 🏃🏃‍♂️ Short term feature improvements are def a win, but long term performance matters and is the ultimate moat and it’s hard to get out of that electron codebase. Your entire cathedral is build on it.

The Zed team, former creators of the OG Atom editor, learnt from their initial wins. Not even failings because for its time Atom was a hell of a product.
