I really want to like Zed editor, but:
1. It's developed by a for-profit VC-backed company
2. They require developers to sign Contributor License Agreement
So there's an obvious risk that it'll run out of funding, start introducing paid/noisy/crappy features and eventually relicense the whole thing to lock it behind a paywall before vanishing out of the existence. The open-source license won't help, like it didn't with Atom (the previous project by the same authors).
But hey, in the meanwhile it's a nice editor :)
