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”.

> he plugins are still very few compared to other mature editors. also, it’s not quite as configurable as Sublime

AFAIU, it doesn't have a plugin runtime, which is fairly glaring to me (but maybe not for devs these days).

This is what triggered my "is it hype" thought, as I've seen people say it does but it's in rust or something.

And I feel like many fail to realise how hard it is to build a new editor with everything we take for granted these days.

Fediverse & typst similarly.
