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”.

Well, yes, it currently lacks several basic things. But remote development is a killer feature to me and they seem to be prioritizing it.

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.

Which is definitely interesting and cool. (Also, before this AI "moment", their main selling point, along with taking graphics more seriously, and rust I suppose).
