Zed is my goto editor when I'm not vibe coding, but that is rare these days. Their integration with Claude Code, etc really helped, but Antigravity completely pulled me away. And really, since they're catering to the same basic audience, the defaults should be the same as VSCode for most stuff. VSCode but performant would be an excellent pitch for the upcoming consumer RAM deficient world.

Dunno how they plan to get wider extensibility and community support without an embedded JS backend to support the existing Code plugins. That's where the real blocker is.

Curious: whats your primary programming language and what sort of development do you do ? In my experience with LLMs agentic coding paired with a good IDE works wonders. Its also allows me to surgically write critical bits of code myself while outsourcing boilerplate stuff.
