I really like #Zed, but the rate at which previously working features break is getting to VS Code-levels of badness.

It’s been more than a month since I reported a really frustrating issue with the Vue extension and responsibility keeps getting moved from project to project without results.

When did everything get so brittle and bloated? 😭
