    So they’re doing the equivalent of VSCode(ium)'s extensions, but installing them automatically and not giving you the option to use alternatives?

    Blegh.

      I think they auto install some binaries like nodejs that are required for baseline functionality, but have a popup window for additional language LSPs

        what if I wanted to use deno or bun? I don’t think that should be their decision to install “default” stuff that have alternatives

        I’m all for their improvement tho

          I don’t see your point? Nodejs is installed in a custom directory and not added to PATH. It is used by Zed for providing npm support for extensions, and other things. I’m not a Zed developer so I don’t know exactly.

          It doesn’t prevent you from using deno or bun in any way.

            I see, that’s greatif it is only locally installed and used, messing with PATH could, probably, break stuff like nvm or others
