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”.

    Yes.it is hype. Because it is a product still in development. Windows is not yet officially supported, and they announced Linux like one month ago.

    It still lacks some basic features. However, what they already have looks good, it is much more performant that vscode.

      vscode without any extension is very performant.

      It’s easy to get better performance when you don’t have features.
