About Zed
Zed IDE has recently introduced several advanced features, particularly focusing on performance, collaboration, and AI integration. One standout enhancement is the custom hardware-accelerated UI framework, GPUI, built with Rust. This framework delivers a responsive, visually sharp interface similar to a 3D game, which significantly boosts performance compared to many other code editors. However, GPUI is currently limited to MacOS, allowing only Apple users to experience these speed benefits for now.
Zed has also refined its collaborative features. The editor supports real-time editing with peers using conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs), enabling seamless team coding with channels and contacts for team communication. Additionally, it integrates popular AI tools like GitHub Copilot and GPT-4, enhancing code generation and diagnostics. An “inline assistant” offers context-aware suggestions, allowing developers to select, edit, or debug code in real-time with the AI’s guidance. Commands like /diagnostics help users easily access language server outputs, and the new /workflow function introduces step-by-step task automation for structured and interactive editing sessions.
