I like using zed when I'm on the MacBook. It's quite fast, looks good and has some neat features like multi file editing.
But I don't get the utility of all the collaboration features. It's noise to me, and feels like they could have invested that energy in other areas.
I work in a small fully remote team, and our tool of choice for collaboration is git. Why would I want to edit the same file while someone else is editing it too? Who will commit it? If I want to discuss a part of the code with someone screen sharing works perfectly. There's no need to bring in simultaneous editing.
It's such a technically hard feature to develop but just doesn't seem to have any utility for me.
I kind of feel the same about collaboration features, I never use them in any editor, just git and video calls/screen sharing. Ironically though the collaboration features are their monetization plan with the base editor as FOSS, so hopefully for them we’re in the minority on that opinion…
