Zed seems like its gotten a lot of buzz on HN, and its great to see new players in the space.

For those who have used it, what are some of the killer features?

No killer features, just nice ergonomics and speed out of the box. I use it as my Vim replacement.

Its killer feature seems to be speed. Otherwise I dont see much of a reason to use it over VS Code.

Awesome. Been looking for a next-gen Atom for coding. I use PyCharm most of the time, but sometimes its overkill with its eternal indexing ... :) So I often find myself bringing up SublimeText for working on individual files as opposed to a whole project.

For me the "killer feature" is a graphical editor (like VSCode or the Jet Brains editors) but with performance more like vim. I'm also very much enjoying the modal editing, which VSCode lacks.

Do you use it for Rust? Does it do "Show usages" well when the usages are through a macro?

What motivated you to switch to it from vim?
