Zed is a new addition to my tool stack. After using Neovim for a long time I switched to Emacs for over a year. My intention when moving away from Emacs was to go back to Neovim. Then I discovered Zed 💡. Zed is a fantastic editor with great performance and AI integration. I am still switching back and forth between Zed and Neovim 😇
