They could ask during install whether silent installation of LSPs should be done or whether Zed should ask explicitly for every LSP.
With Zed, I have another issue. I don't understand which niche it is trying to fill. The advertising story doesn't convince me. The performance bottlenecks are typically the LSPs after all, not if text is rendered in 10 or 20 ms. Startup time is secondary. Yes, memory usage is a concern. I get that and that's where Zed is miles ahead of VS Code and Jetbrains IDEs. But overall I think:
- If you want easy and free, go VS Code.
- If you want ultimate IDE features and mouse and GUI, go Jetbrains.
