Important not - you should not assume Zed is on par with vscode in terms of functionality. Nothing really is as MS started as early as Atom was born, and perhaps they were considering some SublimeText approach to the editior, as it is what started these type of editors more or less.

But Zed is a complete rewrite, which on one hand makes itsuper-fast, but otherwise is still super-lacking of integration with the existing vsix extensions, language servers, and what not. Many authors in this forum totally fail to see that SublimeText4 is super ultra fast also compared to Electron-based editors, but is not even close in terms of supported extensions.

The whole Cursor hysteria may abruptly end with CoPilot/Cline/Continue advancing, and honestly, havng used both - there isnt much difference in the final result, should you know what you are doing.
