Zed is now open source
Was confused until I realised I'd confused Zed, with Xi[1] which is also rust based, and which incidentally has a frontend called "Xim"..
Also there's a wiki-editor (like Tomboy[2]) called "Zim"[3].

Text Editor: Data Structures
Project site linked from the GitHub[0] is https://xi-editor.io. Linked doc is a mirror of this[1], which was afaik originally written by Raph Linus.

The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Must Know About Unicode in 2023
> thing that gets deleted when you hit backspace
Is there a canonical source for this part, by the way? Xi copied the logic from Android[1] (as per the issue you linked downthread), and I vaguely remember that CLDR had something to say about this too, but I don’t know if there’s any sort of consensus here that’s actually written down anywhere.

What's is a rusty way to implement sharable trees?
This is pretty much how copy-on-write ropes work. Check out xi-rope, Ropey or crop, they're all built using B-trees and implement the behavior you described.

Helix (a Kakoune / Neovim inspired editor) 23.03
Helix is awesome, though once Lapce (spiritual successor to Xi editor) gets the Helix/Kakoune editing model, I may have to jump ship

How to share resources between instances of program?
Maybe take a look at the Xi editor (https://xi-editor.io/) (written in rust I think) that uses a client server architecture.
-
Suitable Rust GUI Library for Code Editor?
Have a look at what Lapce uses. The editor is coming along nicely, and iirc, they use the Xi editor as a plug-in.

CRDTs make multiplayer text editing part of Zed's DNA
Raph Levien posted a retrospective about using CRDT’s for collaborative editing in xi-editor here [1]. His conclusion is
“I come to the conclusion that the CRDT is not pulling its (considerable) weight. When I think about a future evolution of xi-editor, I see a much brighter future with a simpler, largely synchronous model, that still of course has enough revision tracking to get good results with asynchronous peers like the language server.”

Tools to achieve a 10x developer workflow on Windows
I would suggest to start getting into vim by first trying out popular vim keybinding plugins available on your favorite code editor and get used to those first. Then, if you want to dive deeper into the power of Neovim, try out popular configs like LazyVim, LunarVim, NvChad... Taking Neovim from a mere text editor to a full-featured IDE with features like intellisense, debugging, testing, etc... on your own takes quite a lot of work and configuration.

Helix 23.10 Highlights
I used Helix for a while due to its support for LSP out-of-the-box, which my Vim config at the time couldn't live up to. I switched back to NeoVim after finding LunarVim[1] which had everything I was trying to get setup in my own config.

Mastering Emacs
I'll admit I didn't look into it, but Helix sounds like something like LunarVim (https://www.lunarvim.org/)
Personally I much prefer that the editor NOT ship with something like that by default, especially when it's so easy to set up. I have several different vim config I use, including a pretty bare-bones one for headless systems, and I much prefer the ability to customize something very specifically.
Build tools that can compose together, rather than a single do-it-all tool. That is the power of the low level editors vs IDE's.

LazyVim
I can't comment on any implementation details, but at least with LunarVim (which I use for daily coding), a slowdown when interacting with LSP is very noticeable. Some others have attested to this on a GitHub issue.
I'm not doubting your experiences with the lack of a slowdown, but there is truth that others do experience it. That might be more of a problem with LunarVim itself rather than Vim, but how likely am I (as someone who would like to avoid what he calls "config hell") or other newcomers to avoid whatever pitfalls there are, if a distribution designed for ease of use by people who know better fall into them?

neovim config
Anyways, although i have not used them, LazyVim and LunarVim comes highly recommended. You can try these and see what suits you .
What are some alternatives?
helix - A post-modern modal text editor.
AstroNvim - AstroNvim is an aesthetic and feature-rich neovim config that is extensible and easy to use with a great set of plugins
alacritty - A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.
SpaceVim - A community-driven modular vim/neovim distribution - The ultimate vimrc
iota - A terminal-based text editor written in Rust
NvChad - An attempt to make neovim cli as functional as an IDE while being very beautiful , blazing fast. [Moved to: https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad]
lapce - Lightning-fast and Powerful Code Editor written in Rust
NvChad - Blazing fast Neovim config providing solid defaults and a beautiful UI, enhancing your neovim experience.
Servo - Servo, the embeddable, independent, memory-safe, modular, parallel web rendering engine
