From Vim to Zed

Thorsten, who now works at Zed, says he switched his main editor from Vim and Neovim, which he had used for about 20 years, to Zed in December of last year. He says the switch came from Zed's Vim mode, which can be combined with its multi-cursor and multi-selection features, and from its multi-buffer, which lets users edit excerpts from several files in one tab. He also says Zed's values of performance, simplicity, focus, aesthetics and love for the craft overlap with his own, and that he wanted to try something new. He still uses Vim for some config files and for editing directories with oil.nvim.
