only now I realize I misread your comment as saying "besides tree sitter and eglot there is not much in emacs"
and somehow that is not what you said.
is this what you meant: "Now that modern IDE features (syntax parsing and LSP support) are built into Emacs out of the box, I don't feel like I'm missing out on modern editors like Zed. I’m ditching my bloated, outdated Emacs configuration file and starting fresh with a clean, lightweight setup that relies on standard built-in tools."
?
then apologies for my confusion.
