To add to what Michael said, Zed with PyRight and Clang integrated is extremely lightweight for developing in Python and C/C++
And you can configure it for your LSP of choice if you develop in any other language.
VS Code for its extension support. More recently Cursor, which is a fork of VS Code with first-class LLM integrations.

I tried Zed a little the only problem I have with it really is that it won't let me use the space key when I use colmak which is the keyboard layout I prefer, I'm sure there is some way to fix it but I just don't want to deal with it, I'm sure in the future that will just work by default though. If I use US qwerty it works fine but I can't type worth a crap on that layout anymore.
I think with time they’ll make it work. Zed is still relatively new.
