If you want to understand what the next generation of code editors might look like, take a look at Zed.

Zed is a lightweight editor, similar to Sublime Text and VS Code (in the early days), but with tight LLM integration. It offers two interaction modes: context chat and inline edits. At first it may feel awkward to manage the context yourself, but over time you’ll see how flexible and convenient it is.

Right now it’s only missing context hints and LLM integration with other editor features like search, git, and so on.
