I really like Zed. Have not tried any of the mentioned by op. Zed I feel like is getting somewhere that can replace Sublime Text completely (but not there yet).

AI aided development has first class support in Zed.
Ie. it's not a "plugin" but built-in ecosystem developed by core team.
Speed of iterations on new features is quite impressive.
Their latest agentic editing update basically brought claude code cli to the editor.
Most corporations don't have direct access to arbitrary LLMs but through Microsoft's Github's Copilot they do – and you can use models through copilot and other providers like Ollama – which is great for work.
With their expertise (team behind pioneering tech like electron, atom, teletype, tree sitter, building their own gpu based cross platform ui etc.) and velocity it seems that they're positioned to outpace competition.
Personally I'd say that their tech is maybe two orders of magnitude more valuable than windsurf?
Zed is an editor firslty.. The Ops has mentioned options which are AI development "agents" basically.
