Zed felt it had the right to download, install, and run node.js without any permission just to run some LSP (which I don't even use). When I mentioned it here, the devs said that they felt that was fine because their priority was to make things seamless for users such that they don't have to install the LSP manually. Sublime Text, on the other hand, has never installed anything I haven't explicitly asked it to.

I'm sticking with Sublime Text, as its developers actually respect boundaries on my computer.

Yes. This is bad. Zed keeps installing and running all sorts of random background stuff. This should be an opt-in.
