Switched to Zed from VS Code. It’s really quite cool, mainly in terms of RAM usage and startup time. For my projects, a single VS Code window consumes around 2 GB of RAM, while the same project in Zed consumes around 90 MB. It really is quite insane. And Zed’s cold-start bootup latency is around 3 seconds (for me), compared to around 10-12 seconds in VS Code (before it’s ready to use). I don’t use a lot of extensions in VS Code.
