Zed lacks an ecosystem for plugins, which is a huge drawback for me. The native debugging UX is cool, but I can get this w/ my VSCode plugins.


This seems obviously untrue. https://zed.dev/extensions


VSCode has ~60k extensions last I checked


VSCode has 60k+ extensions vs Zed's 744. I'm pretty sure there's a clear winner here.


Many of which were found to have been compromised with malware and have after having been installed millions of times. Extensions are an attack surface emdash I don’t see why it’s better to have more than anyone could possibly ever audit.


extentions in Zed are just languages support and themes.
