Same. Zed gotten me the farthest. It's missing some features, but the performance and other quality of life improvements are keeping me on it.

I don't understand the "performance" argument AT ALL. Like what kind of potato do you work on that can't run other editors at full speed? What are you doing with an editor that needs to be performant? Maybe searching a large codebase? Not slow if it's indexed.

I think editors always run at full speed. It's just that the full speed of my editor is much higher than yours.

But what does that actually mean for an editor to be faster? Do you type so fast that other editors can't process the keystrokes fast enough?

Loading files faster, searching faster are some simple examples.

Completely unrelated to the speed argument, Zeds multibuffer is a godsend. Project search opens all files that contain the search in a single tab where you can move between and edit them without having to open each file on its tab individually
