You can't compare Zed with Vscode and it's cousins. I've used Zed myself and it is still very lacking, limited extensions.

Zed only has syntax highlighting and an ai assistant, but that's it. Even though Vscode (and the rest) is still also considered a text editor and not a IDE, they have by far way more features.

Sure, you get super duper high speed, but at what cost?

Zed has good LSP support for lots of languages. It’s not only syntax highlighting and AI.
Fair point are there rust or cpp based ides in parity with vs code to compare?
Not that I know of, I understand the need for performant IDEs but does it really matter that much which language it is written in?
