helix is the only editor that gets this right. shipping pre-compiled grammars should be the default for any editor leveraging tree-sitter, from a user experience perspective and for stability.

the fact that more popular editors expect you to check them out yourself and compile from master and then wire everything up yourself and "hopefully there's no incompatibility today!" is insane. we should really have higher standards than that.

More popular editors expect you to click a button when you open a file in a given language to install language support, nothing insane about that, easy and also no waste

See https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/1970 but yeah, other editors do the same thing as Helix here.
