You say that like they're in the same category, but one is an embedded Chromium and the other a native windowing toolkit.

They're switching to wgpu (another performant Rust library), not GTK or electron

Yes, so I'm glad Zed at least did spend the time to reinvent the wheel, because it benefits everyone to focus on performance, not to mention we have a high quality piece of OSS at the end of it, as even if it's paused development for now, it can still be forked or otherwise iterated upon.
