I use Zed. Much less user hostile.

The premise of Zed is quite appealing, but I'm not sure I'm ready to switch due to the missing extension ecosystem of VSC. For example, at the moment I'm using the Playwright and Vite ones to quickly run and debug tests.
I wanted to like zed, but then I discovered it is limited to one concurrent agent tab and that is a dealbreaker..
It's open source, so you could try to have your agents patch it! You can also just load up agents in terminal tabs.

I don't use concurrent agents much though so I can't really relate.

Zed is incredible, such a relief
How does Zed compare to let's say vsc
Hard to say. I haven't launched VS Code or any of its derivatives since I first used Zed.
