Zed is closer to IntelliJ or VSCode than to Sublime Text.


In the amount of bloat, yes.


It is also important to note that this is not specific to Zed. As someone else have mentioned, it is a cultural problem. I picked Zed as an example because that is what I compiled the last time, but it is definitely not limited to Zed. There are many Rust projects that pull in over 1000 dependencies and they do much less than Zed.


Yeah tbh one time I had a Rust job and their back-end had like 700-800 dependencies.
