Zed is "almost there" for me.

The theme builder is good and easy to use, and I only needed a few minutes to make my own.

Syntax coloring is almost there, but still lacking (I use C/C++) Small visual adjustment like line height in the UI text is not configurable enough (only two settings)

Scrolling should have a smooth option, nothing prevents it, it should be super easy to add, I find it easier on the eyes when I move around code, especially on a 240Hz monitor.

The editing experience is good, quick launch, no crashes, responsive, not too memory hungry.

You could use Mos, which also has the advantage that smooth scrolling works the same in every app (speed, acceleration etc)

Scrolling is perfectly smooth when you use a trackpad. IMO, clickwheels are a legacy technology for scrolling (even when I use Windows, I left-hand a Magic Trackpad so I still have smooth analog scrolling).
