An AI editor, a competitor to Cursor but written from scratch and not a VS Code fork. They recently announced a funding round from Sequoia. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44961172

Yup. Their big design goal seemed to just be "speed" for a majority of development. That's it.
Someone posted this in the other zed thread but it looks on par with VS Code in speed according to these results:
I don't understand why people say X is a competitor to Cursor, which is built on Visual Studio Code, when GitHub Copilot came out first, and is... built on Visual Studio Code.
It also didn't start out as a competitor to either.
