What commenters say
Zed's speed and collaborative editing features make it a promising alternative to other code editors.
The editor's Vim mode is satisfactory, but some users find it lacking compared to other editors.
The ability to edit search results without opening the entire file is a unique and useful feature in Zed.
Some users appreciate Zed's simple and clean user interface, while others find it too minimalistic.
The one-line installer is convenient, but some users are concerned about the installation process and would prefer more transparency.
Zed's collaboration mode is a major selling point, especially for users who value pair programming and real-time editing.
The editor's performance is comparable to, or even surpasses, that of other popular editors like Sublime and VS Code.
Some users are hesitant to switch to Zed due to the lack of certain features or plugins, but are willing to give it a try due to its potential.
