Toe-out is self-reinforcing, it sets up a positive-feedback loop. With toe-out, you get a "twitchy" feel to the end of the car that has it.

Zero toe can make for a "floating" feel in some cars, but not all. I'm not sure what determines that, but I'd bet that some of it is the driver.

Zero toe is OK, but you want to be careful that the "give" and flex in your suspension does not give you much if any toe-out. That can result in a car that is a handful.
