I am a Neovim diehard, but it is impossible to use over SSH. Since I do ML research, all my code runs on a remote server with high power GPUs. Reluctantly, I have been using VSCode, for its excellent remote-ssh plugin. But even with its half-baked Vim mode, it is still the same sluggish Electron app.

Zed may the the editor that changes this game. It is extremely fast, supports LSP and Treesitter natively, has some pretty nifty AI features, and has native Vim bindings. It still has some rough edges, and remote development is not as smooth as VSCode, but its lightness makes it worth using for me.

The main missing feature is writing simple plugins, but I assume they will address this in the near future.

It is very possible, in my opinion, that Neovim will be dethroned by Zed in the next few years, just as Neovim did to Vim.
