Zed certainly seems interesting!

I wonder though if it's enticing enough to leave Emacs' versatile configurability and introspection abilities behind. I don't think Zed has any way to extend its behavior beyond configuration options, and if it doesn't have a scripting language to go with it now, then it seems quite unlikely it will have a good one in the future either.

Based on another comment here I did some more searching and I found this: https://github.com/zed-industries/extensions . It seems though the extension abilities are limited to dealing with different kind of files, not for really extending Zed's abilities: https://github.com/zed-industries/extensions/blob/main/AUTHO... https://docs.rs/zed_extension_api/latest/zed_extension_api/ .

I guess there are different hats emacs users wear, or things that are in Emacs' favour.

e.g. in terms of "Emacs is just a good tool", it's very good at being a keyboard-driven tool.

If these fancy features like multiplayer catch on, I'd expect someone would figure out a way to do something like that in Emacs.

It's probably due to Emacs being so customisable that allowed it to get Magit, which is an outstandingly good user interface for Git.

I wondered about the same thing. Even though some parts of Emacs feel old it's still the best editor IMHO
