It has a theme builder so you can make your code editor aesthetic. It has your favorite AI features like autocomplete and of course agents. And you can choose which agents you want: Claude, Codex, OpenCode, or even Zed's own agent. Whatever you want. It has a built-in debugger for your favorite languages like Rust, JavaScript, Go, Python, C/C++. Whatever you want. It has built-in Git support if you hate using the terminal.
