Between treesitter and eglot (read: LSP), there’s not much from other editors I miss when using Emacs. I’ve been on a Zed kick for a while but I hear the call of the GNU. This may be the week I declare .emacs bankruptcy and start again with a clean setup, seeing how much of my old third-party config I can replace with builtins.

Are there any Zed features you're going to miss? Is the AI notable?

		Not really, no. Zed’s a fine editor and I have nothing but good to say about it. I just happen to prefer Emacs more. Its keystrokes are burned into my muscle memory. And because its config files are literally executable code, there’s nothing too crazy for Emacs. Can it do XYZ? Absolutely, if you tell it to! As to AI: Emacs continues to have zero built in. If you like it, though, it supports any agent you might want to use. I was highly amused the first time I wanted to use my own company’s agent and found it was already well-supported by a popular package. And honestly, Emacs + a coding agent = magic for anyone who wanted to use it but was intimidated by Elisp. “Hey Droid, tell Emacs to swap the command and option keys on my Mac.” “Ok, done!” It’s a ludicrously powerful combo.
