> It's not surprising that editors / IDEs supporting less features are going to be faster

True, though performance is often completely unrelated to the amount of features. The build/debug actions you mentioned should not have any impact on text editing speed.

[vv_]

Supporting additional features generally introduces complexity. This is why people drift towards using larger platforms (e.g. Electron) to build their applications as it reduces the complexity of introducing new features. As it stands today, Zed is unusable for my use-case due to a lack of support for features I need.
