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.
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.
extentions in Zed are just languages support and themes.
