Saw Zed mentioned for the first time today on the hackernews front page. Readme doesn't even bother to mention what it is. I think it's an ide? You want me to install rust and build it to use it? I get hn is an echo chamber but sometimes..

The first line of the README

> Welcome to Zed, a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

The second line of the README (with links to download & package manager instructions omitted)

> Installation

> On macOS and Linux you can download Zed directly or install Zed via your local package manager.

I do not dispute that HN is an echo chamber. But how did you come to your conclusions?
