For me at least, tree-sitter + LSP support is a must in any editor/IDE. Recent entrants like Zed are setting a very high bar along with really quite stellar updates to neovim and emacs in the form of LazyVim, Doom/Spacemacs etc.

Glad to see more competition in the space.

I agree. In neovim It's lately been fun to make my own tree sitter based scripts. For example, I managed to very quickly add syntax highlighting to my own DSL that is embedded in rust strings.

And to counter the old trope that one ends up spending more time tinkering with the editor than being productive, it is just fun and that's enough of a reason to do it :)

Can't wait to try out zed more once it becomes more stable on linux.
