I write C++ and Typescript and just tried Zed on Windows, it didn't feel significantly faster for me (maybe a bit).
What's worse is C++ autocomplete - both on the same project with clang and CMake - it might be that I need some more setup, but I felt like Zed understood much less of tricky modern C++ (tbf, VS Code isn't perfect either) and the autocomplete was kinda broken. I fully admit this might be due to my own inexperience, so I won't hold it against Zed, but so far I haven't seen anything significantly better to justify making the switch.
