I think it's justified for Zed. It does a lot of things.

Zed isn’t special, I doubt Sublime Text has thousands of dependencies. It’s a language/culture problem.

Edit: Ghostty is a good counter-example that is open source. https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/tree/main/pkg

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.
