There was discussion about Zed over at Lobste.rs ~9 months ago when it went open source. I tried it then (as it was compared a lot to VSCode or Visual Studio code, which according to comments here are two separate things, to my surprise?) and I just updated and tried it again, and my initial feeling about it is unchanged:
Something about the UI is just... off. I don't know what it is exactly, but it feels like one of those "web page trying to mimic a desktop environment" demos that were all the rage 15-20 years ago.
It's bizarre to think that IntelliJ, which is a JVM app, feels way more 'native' on macOS than Zed.
