The Need for a New Code Editor

Existing code editors often lack real-time collaboration, which is a standard feature in many modern tools like Google Docs and Figma. This gap leaves programmers stuck in traditional workflows where collaboration involves cumbersome processes like Git commits and pushes. Zed aims to change this by providing a code editor that focuses on collaboration, speed, and seamless integration with modern tools. Additionally, Zed promises to alleviate the frustrations common in editors like VS Code and NeoVim, which tend to be slow and require extensive setup for optimal use.
