I'm using neovim with lazyvim. It's still not "easy" to keep up with e.g. I have plugins that interfere with other plugins, some crash. Part of that is that I have a bad habit of installing tons of plugins that "sound good" without learning them or where they fit exactly. I probably need to go one by one slowly.

I tried emacs but found the same issue with plugins. It's just hard to keep up and organize them, so far lazyvim is the easiest for me but not "easy".

I'll have to try zed if it's foss. I do wish that some "standardized" plugins would just be integrated into the base application or a new application like Neovim from vim. I don't know the history, so I'm not sure how it came about, but it does feel like there is some stagnation with some of the gnu/linux stuff.
