For me, it's always interesting to try out new editors, and I've been a little frustrated with Sublime lately.

Upsides of Zed (for me, I think):

* Built-in AI vibecodery, which I think is going to be an unavoidable part of the job very soon.

* More IDE features while still being primarily an Editor.

* Extensions in Rust (if I'm gonna suffer, might as well learn some Rust).

* Open source.

Downsides vs Sublime:

* Missing some languages I use.

* Business model, arguably, because $42M in VC "is what it is."
