You can really see the difference between opening VSCode and Zed, even more so if you compare it to something like JB's Fleet editor.

To be fair, it's not the easiest to compare right now since Zed is lacking a million features of Code, but if all the work they've done keeps it as fast as it is with features like user extensions it will be well worth it.

I usually have ~10 different VS Code windows open at a time (yay microservices ❤️), so having something as fast as Zed would be really appreciated.
