Heard of Helix? It's a bit more Vim to Zed's VSCode, but it's open source and Rust too! It also comes with rust-analyzer and tree-sitter included.

Helix is awesome, fast, elegant and works everywhere. I wonder what unique selling points Zed has that could motivate me to switch?


Helix doesn't have a plugin system:

Personally I love the no plugins. It keeps the core editor competitive and easy to set up.


Just like Zed?


Yet.


Unfortunately Helix is movement first while Vim is command first. This makes a big difference if you are used to Vim binding
