I'm very happy with zed if I have to compare it to any intellij product

If you're using Windows (+ WSL) then yes, there's a hunch of memory issues currently. Apart from Windows I've never issues though, especially seeing as how intellij indexing takes >1 min and hogs my memory during that period.

The only reason I'm not switching is because Zed's vim bindings are aaalmost perfect. I did not like Vim Mode in VSC or intellij IDE's since it's another keymap I have to learn next to my nvim setup

No, I had issues on native Linux. At one point it used 4x available memory and brought down the entire system.

Maybe this is a vim thing? What do emacs and vscode users feel about zed?
