In my personal experience I couldn't use Zed for editing python.

Firstly, when navigating in a large python repository, looking up references was extremely slow (sometimes on the order of minutes).

Secondly, searching for a string in the repo would sometimes be incorrect (e.g. I know the string exists but Zed says there aren't any results, as if a search index hasn't been updated). These two issues made it unusable.

I've been using PyCharm recently and found it to be far superior to anything else for Python. JetBrains builds really solid software.



That’s because Python lacks good open source lsp. That’s true for other open source editors.


Yes.. but all that really matters in a zero sum game is that Vscode and cursor have good Python integration and zeds is not good. I live zed otherwise but I have to do Python all day so I don’t use it


VS Code uses proprietary lsp
