Have they fixed the big/feature where it insists on downloading entire distributions of Node.js for running it's language server functionality?

This is basically my main gripe with Zed atm — it's very keen to autodownload and execute binaries.

I have a light fork that tries to nullify this, but I don't think I've managed to catch all the instances.

Other than that, it's a very nice editor in my opinion.

Easy fix:

{ "server_url": "", }

I comment out that JSONC line periodically when I feel like cherry-picking updates

I hate this pattern in software so much.

That is the great thing about Zed. Stuff just works.

That's not great at all. It's not acceptable to "just work" by downloading and running third party software without asking the user.
