Sounds great. Looking forward to doing a simple test run with Astro SSG
I'm really liking it thus far!
That is not a problem for code, but if you just want to open some random .txt file or .csv file, these are often enough not utf-8 encoded, especially if they contain non English text.
The github issue for this is showing progress, but I think it's a mistake to promote the editor to stable as is.
I love my ARM Surface Pro, and Zed would make a wonderful editor on this hardware. If anyone from Zed is reading this, please think about it!

Zed uses DirectX for rendering and requires a compatible GPU.
Currently you are using a software emulated GPU (Microsoft Basic Render Driver) which
will result in awful performance.
For troubleshooting see: https://zed.dev/docs/windows
Set ZED_ALLOW_EMULATED_GPU=1 env var to permanently override.

Ah bummer.I haven't fully switched over to using it as my daily-driver because Zed's heavy reliance on GPU rendering means that it locks up every time I suspend & resume my Linux box [0,1] but I'm optimistic about the progress they're making on it.
If you want to talk about perf in the context of a text editor show me how big of a file you can load--especially if the file has no line breaks. Emacs has trouble here. If you load a minified js file it slows to a crawl especially if syntax highlighting is on. Also show me how fast the start up time is. This is another area where Emacs does not do well.
So Zed is available on Windows--but only if you have a x64 processor. Lots of people run Windows on Arm64 and I don't see any mention of Arm64. This is where the puck is heading.
Also noticed Emacs key binding is in beta still.
But waaaaah they don't support a processor that accounts for probably less then 10% of Windows Machines
Also, I do not believe Windows on Arm64 is a very large demographic? Especially for developers, unless they're specifically into that platform.
You can build the most beautiful and fastest IDE, but with this bugs, it’s useless
