Taste and empathy maybe, but their choice of licenses, technologies and priorities can still be juvenile to the point of sinking their company.

Just look at the amount of excitement in their industry right now. New IDEs are springing up practically by the week. Are any of these new IDEs based on Zed?

No, of course not. GPL closes the door on that, and who would want to own a fork of a tool that's so painful to develop? Developers working on VSCode can probably do an average dev-test cycle in 1-5 seconds. I've no idea how long the Zed dev-test cycle is, but I hear Rust builds are notoriously slow so I assume it's more like 1-5 minutes.
