Is the new #zed editor mostly hype rn?

I can believe it’s good and cool ( built in graphics and collab seem to me like good ideas).

But as someone who happily stayed with sublime (with LSPs a likely game changer) …

takes like “it’s fast!”, “LSP!”, “it now has snippets!” … along with people telling me it has a plug-in system, but doesn’t (cf python/lua runtimes of sublime/nvim) give me massive hype vibes and honestly just feels very “2020s-tech”.

    However it should be noted that the remote development connection is via their servers, which makes it somewhat less useful

      For now. But what I can say from my experience with VS Code is that their tunnel connection is far more stable than a direct SSH one; a tunnel also lets you punch through the workplace VPN, so that’s what I keep using.
