Zed is a high‑performance, cross‑platform code editor written in Rust. It offers built‑in multiplayer collaboration and AI‑powered assistance for developers.

Use cases

  • Edit code collaboratively with teammates in real time
  • Leverage AI agents to generate or refactor code snippets
  • Work on large projects with fast, responsive UI on Linux, macOS, or Windows
  • Navigate and search across a codebase efficiently
  • Customize editor settings and extensions via a built‑in CLI

When to choose

  • You need a native, fast editor with built‑in multiplayer support
  • You want AI‑driven code assistance without leaving the editor
  • You prefer an open‑source, Rust‑based tool that runs on all major desktop OSes

When to avoid

  • You require a web‑based editor or browser extension
  • You need extensive plugin ecosystems like those of VS Code or Vim
  • Your workflow depends on Windows‑only integrations not yet supported
