   Zed the IDE (Yes, I tried Cursor & Antigravity)

   A hands-on review of Zed IDE exploring its performance advantages, AI coding capabilities, and unique approach to agentic development. The editor is built in Rust for speed and memory efficiency, supports Vim motions, and implements the Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) for integration with external coding agents like Claude Code and OpenCode. Key features include 120fps rendering, real-time collaboration tools, and flexible AI provider options including local inference with Ollama. The review compares Zed's architecture to Electron-based editors like VS Code and Cursor, noting the performance trade-offs and discussing the $10/month Zed Pro subscription value proposition.

   Zed Is Our Office — Zed's Blog

   Zed Industries runs their entire company using Zed's native collaboration features, including meetings, project work, and individual focus time. The editor was built from the ground up with collaboration as a core feature using CRDTs for conflict-free concurrent editing, integrated voice/screen sharing, and a channel-based workspace structure. The team organizes their virtual office through hierarchical channels for company-wide discussions, project-specific work, and personal focus spaces, demonstrating how real-time collaborative editing can replace traditional meeting tools.
