I’m using Zed on macOS and like it so far. Only thing I wish they add is remote development like VSCode has. Zed seems to be focusing on collaborative development and the integrated AI assistant, but feels like remote programming is something closer to a lot more people’s use cases. I’d be willing to pay for a seamless remote experience with Zed.

sshfs/rclone as solution?

those give you access to modify remote files - vscode gives you remote search, debugging, building, testing, port forwarding, reproducable self-contained disposable environments, ...

You can do most of that with sshfs, It isn't much different than a mounted drive.

Having used both sshfs and vscode-remote for many years, I can assure you that vscode has a lot more features, with better integration; and even the features that sshfs does have, vscode-remote does the same thing better :)

(You can kiiiind of get the same features with sshfs + mosh + ssh + docker + a bunch of custom scripts + a suite of not-integrated command line tools... but that’s very much a “Why would anybody want to use dropbox when we already have rsync?” situation)
