When I had just started getting into software engineering, there were 2 main competitors in the nomination of "The editor of choice":
Sublime Text...

Zed is not a real contender while it only supports Mac. I appreciate their efforts, but not having open extensions system and being vendor-locked into one OS is a serious drawback compared to other editors. What I'm curious about is their advertised collaboration features, but I haven't had the chance to test them out yet.
The Mac version is a preview. Their roadmap includes support for Linux and web versions in the future. The editor will have extensibility and will support community-made plugins and themes in the near future. Also, there is support for AI code companions.
There are many developers using WSL e.g. ;)
I know you said that you're excluding Neovim from this list, but I feel the need to mention that Neovim solves the majority of your problems, and it's supported on Mac, Linux, and Windows (as far as I know).
There is a steep learning curve for beginners, but LazyVim solves that problem (although in my opinion, LazyVim comes too close to being a clone of VSCode. That's besides the point though).
Concerning speed, I can't find any specific information about how fast Neovim is, but with my configuration with ~30 plugins loaded, Neovim opens in ~100-150 ms. In short, it's pretty dang fast, and if it's speed you're after, Neovim is for you.
And finally, if real-time collaboration is incredibly essential to your team dynamic, then you can either use VSCode when you need to collaborate... or you can just set up and configure a plugin like this.
Honestly, I was looking forward to use it and move from VS Code, because of the simplicity and because now there is support for Astro...but...
Honestly, still to young to move there, I could have a proper workflow still because, the search wasn't good, most files did not appear...
Wont't make the move until the editor is stable..
I agree, it is not a final product. I wanted to test the AI integration with the chatGPT. It was too clucky, too unfinished…
VSCode is definitely our preferred one at Taipy :)
It's interesting to see the ongoing debate between Sublime Text 2 and Atom for the title of "The editor of choice." Each has its strengths and appeals to different preferences and WhatsApp workflows. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what best suits your needs as a developer.
I've used PHPStorm for a decade now, Sublime for quick edits, and VS Code for some C++ and Go
