As for what v1.0 means to Zed:
"1.0 doesn't mean "done". It also doesn't mean "perfect". It means we've reached a tipping point where most developers can quickly feel at home in Zed. If you tried Zed a year or two ago and bounced because something was missing, 1.0 is our invitation to try again. Zed is more capable than it's ever been, and still more performant."

More details on today's Zed 1.0 release can be found via the Zed.dev blog.
