Early Zed user here.
There’s a lot of small things you’ll hit if you use Zed where it’s a subtlety nicer design point, but one of the big ones for me is project-wide search. Zed’s multibuffers are SO much better than VS Code’s equivalent.
If I’m debugging something on a coworkers laptop, VSCode is mostly usable until I hit that.
If you’re a craftsman, it’s worth trying different tools!
Agreed, multibuffers are such a huge QOL feature. I love being able to work across a dozen or more buffers at once with no impact on performance. You can work in so many places at once, navigate from the buffer to its file and back, widen the buffer up or down, etc. It feels like a super power.
