that's just the first noticeable difference.
but there have been instances lately where opening, editing and saving the file took me less time with zed than just open it in VS Code and waiting for it to be ready for inputs
> VS Code starts in under a couple of seconds
I am talking about relative speed differences. Imagine you open the same code base and the editor is ready in half a second. going back to the "slower" one would be unbearable.
now admittedly zed is no way near to the extensibility of VS Code so it is probably doing less and that's where probably much of the speed difference comes from, but it can't really be overlooked once you experienced it.
