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. This includes responsive typing, even with large files, and reduced laptop fan usage.

Zed offers a range of customization options comparable to VS Code, allowing users t...
