Developer Switches from VS Code to Open-Source Editor Zed

Following years of reliance on Visual Studio Code (VS Code), a developer has transitioned to Zed, a new open-source code editor, citing performance and resource consumption issues with VS Code. The switch prioritized speed and clarity over feature density, with Zed offering a native feel and a clean user interface. Unlike VS Code, which is based on Electron, Zed is built using Rust and leverages the GPU directly for rendering, resulting in significantly improved performance.
