In all fairness, and I already knew what Zed was, the About page is a long read to find out anything more than that Zed is an editor. (As in, it says right away that they are building an editor, but then there is a long-winded discussion about history, goals, etc.)

It's just common online courtesy to add to the title a short description of the project like (Zed, code editor) to save users some valuable time.
