  "what": "A GPU-accelerated editor written from scratch in Rust by the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter, released under GPL and Apache licences. Multiplayer editing, an agent panel and edit prediction are built in, and it is a reference implementation of the Agent Client Protocol, so external agents like OpenCode plug straight into the UI.",
  "why": "Pick Zed when editor latency matters more than AI feature count — it stays instant on huge files where Electron-based forks stutter. Personal is free forever with your own API keys, and ACP means you are not married to one vendor's agent.",
  "warn": "AI features are thinner than Cursor's and extension coverage is far smaller than the VS Code marketplace. Pro bundles only $5 of tokens, then bills API list price plus 10 percent.",
