I think the next evolution is also combining the collaborative code editing with a virtualized environment. Where it builds and deploys remotely or runs the code for test and validation.

How do you get a reasonably fancy Emacs to start up/open files quickly? Every time I try to get into EMacs after adding a few packages it becomes painfully slow to open a file for editing. Then I try to understand Emacs server, then I fail / give up and go back to vim.
Emacs server is quite straightforward. M-x server-start in a running emacs, then emacsclient . emacsclient -c if you want to open the file in a new window, or emacsclient -t if you want to open it in your current terminal. C-x # when you're done editing the file.

I don't think that's quite fair. The stackoverflow survey shows a large number of developers have made the move to Mac. Certainly not the majority, but a very healthy share. https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#section-most-popular-t... Anecdotally, Mac has become very popular at my workplace, with a growing number of developers choosing Mac for their primary device. We mostly target Linux, so regardless of workstat…
I don't really consider the SO survey useful anymore. It seems to be hyper-selected to just Silicon Valley techbros, instead of either the more general US tech industry, or the worldwide tech industry. If the Silicon Valley is just a bubble, then the two bubbles I live in (life-long FOSS/Linux guy, but also deep into the hosting/transit/non-eyeball end of the Internet), every single Mac owner I know does not run OSX,…

Open it at 8am, close it at 8pm
At least that’s how I worked with my vim tmux sessions ;)

Are really that many developers using Macs? Maybe I am in a different bubble/country, but most professional developers and hobbyist hackers I know have either ThinkPads or Framework laptops running Linux or sometimes Windows, if they have to.
33% according to the latest Stack Overflow developer survey. A healthy enough number to focus on that user base. I do think there are bubbles though. Macs are popular in SV, and there’s a very healthy portion of the developer community focused on this user base.
So not really a good Argument that MacOS is used more...
How many people find real time sharing helpful? I've never found it to be beneficial. I'm curious.
Zed developer here, You can come try it out with us right now if you like: https://zed.dev/channel/zed-283 Though you'll have to sign the CLA first :)

What’s wrong with Neovim?
A lot of things, from limited keybinding support due to terminal limits, unergonomic extension language, very poor default setup, lacking good GUI, poor multicursor support, lack of core Zed's feature - collaboration
So my laptop will be roasting hot constantly?
