With Jetbrains you're paying for the IDE.

Zed's vision is that the editor is free and you're paying basically for Teams-lite.

If you're a big company, you're already using a service like Teams, Slack, Zoom, etc.

If you're a small company, then there's free alternatives like Discord.

And say you want to talk to someone other than a programmer, then you'd need something else anyway. Because a project manager wouldn't need an IDE installed.
