Zed
A very fast editor with agentic editing built in.
Written in Rust with performance as the headline feature, Zed added collaborative editing and an agent panel that can make multi-file edits. The appeal is that the editor stays instant even with AI features running.
Best for
People who care about editor latency and want AI without the bloat.
Watch out for
Younger extension ecosystem than VS Code — check your must-have plugins exist.
