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.

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.

extentions in Zed are just languages support and themes.

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.
