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”.

Helix for a better default config. But you’ve probably already set up vim the way you like it.

I tried Helix but my muscle memory around Vim movements was a non - starter for me. Also , Helix wasn’t working out of the box with Vue.JS (it needs to be tweaked a bit.

So I gave a try to LazyVIM and everything works almost as is. I’ll never look back.
