      Very first impressions since I literally just downloaded before writing this, and haven’t read the manual, I may change my mind with more experience.

      • It’s incredibly snappy, to my eyes as fast as Helix.
      • A lot of stuff that took me a while to figure out in VS Code was immediately obvious. How to toggle inlay hints for Rust? Parameter Icon > Inlay Hints (with the keyboard shortcut there for easy toggling).
      • Interactive is generally intuitive because it seems pretty permissive. Tab vs Enter to autocomplete? Either! ctrl-shift-Z vs ctrl-Y to redo? Same thing!
      • After being so used to Helix I often reach for keybinds that don’t exist. I might have to learn Vim keybinds because I’m definitely going to keep trying Zed.
      • Not sure how I feel about what seems to be an inline discord-like chat/voice-call feature.

      Going to check out if there’s git integration, because I couldn’t easily find it.
