Where would you have to touch internals in zed? In reality would you have to come into contact with rust when using Zed? If it works it wouldn't be apparent what it was build with, wouldn't it?

I often had to poke around inside Atom to see what it was really doing, what some bug was, and to figure out how to write or configure extensions. I don't as often do that with Vim, but it's pretty clean C.

Do you not look inside the overly complex tools you use, especially beta ones? The whole appeal of "open source"/"free software" etc. is you can read the code. But if it's in something you can't stand, that's a disadvantage.
