I don't understand the hate for zed here. Because they are MacOs only? Well, platform support is being worked and looking at their business model it seems MacOs users will the cohort that actually pays for these kinds of things. It will be fun to try out once it comes on linux buy my fealty is with nvim.

It does just work though, which is what other code editors need to get that kind of adoption, I'd love to be able to say I use vim or Emacs but get frustrated when I'm trying to get work done and things keep breaking, I finally feel I have everything configured and then realise I'm missing something else that took me 3.5 minutes to set up in VScode, half of that is due to the large community.

Zed works pretty well out of the box but is missing a lot of features that will make it a viable replacement for me. I am excited about Zed and the way it works, it's super interesting and creative and id love to drive it daily someday, so much so that it's the first project I've really considered contributing to myself.

I don't like that VSCode is bloated, but I love that it takes five minutes to set up and contains nearly every feature I can think of.

For the most part it's a business for them, and that's what matters, they target Mac users because they are more likely to pay. If you need speed and customization there is neovim and Helix (Rust based). From users to users, no business interests here. Or VSCode just works for almost everyone.
