I'm quite partial to Zed. Very snappy, and you can turn off all the AI features globally if you like.

Zed is a no go in my book until they learn to respect their users and stop installing third party software* without asking. Completely unacceptable practice, and their reason of "most people will want LSPs to be there without effort" doesn't cut it.

* nodejs specifically, but it wouldn't be ok no matter what the software was. It's my computer, not yours, don't download and run stuff without getting permission.

Zed is fantastic for Rust, C, C++, and similar languages.

I wouldn't bother using it for Web things like HTML, Js, CSS, because it simply isn't better at that than VSCode. Same goes for C# -- as a Microslop technology, you're better off using Microslop tooling.

Yes, I'm happy with Zed a Sublime replacement, usually for general text-editing.

For coding, I'm still stuck with VSCode and nvim.
