Great idea having a Rust editor fully open-source, and I also saw the GPUI crate in the codebase. Happy to try it!

P.S. For the first 5 minutes I thought Zed was developed by Meta... please change that blue :D

P.S.S: it's incredibly fast, and already has rust-analyzer included.

Heard of Helix? It's a bit more Vim to Zed's VSCode, but it's open source and Rust too! It also comes with rust-analyzer and tree-sitter included.

Helix is awesome, fast, elegant and works everywhere. I wonder what unique selling points Zed has that could motivate me to switch?

Helix doesn't have a plugin system:

Personally I love the no plugins. It keeps the core editor competitive and easy to set up.
