Same. I was just using (heavily customized) vim for many many years, and was kinda ok, but then I eventually switched to IntelliJ products at work, and while I don't really like the idea of using a product with subscription, I cannot quite switch to anything again, and have to install them even on my personal machine. Didn't try Zed though.
And it's quite annoying that I really don't think that the product I'm actually using is something crazy complicated only an for-profit enterprise can implement. Just the same as in my vim-years, I only need a good editor, that helps me to type less. In interpreted languages (Python, PHP) I don't even use debugger, debugging via print actually feels totally fine to me. What I need seems pretty similar, and is seemingly included into every modern editor I know: vim-keybindings, good "code smell" highlightings, autocomplete & some refactoring automation. The devil is in the details though. Vim emulation is never perfect, but in IntelliJ it's usable, which doesn't happen often. Static-analysis IntelliJ does seems pretty basic to me, yet somehow even that level is usually lacking (also, the ability to disable specific suggestion via annotations in IntelliJ products is great, as I feel like this functionality is only really useful when I strive for 100% "green" status, just conciously disabling what I'm not going to fix). But the most annoying thing is auto-refactoring. I mean, it feels like a simple thing, I never tried, but I think most common refactoring patterns I do daily I could automate quite easily, given I already have basic syntax-tree operation implemented. But somehow even IntelliJ is pretty poor on refactorings, and what I've seen in VSCode plugins is even worse. Again, no idea about Zed. I guess I should try it.
