> I dont get why so many collab tools need to be bolted on to what is basically a text editor It's because the collab tool wants to have access to the code as it changes live. It could and should be done in an editor-agnostic daemon like LSP, but then you wouldn't have editor lock in. And that's why both Zed's collab and VSCode's LiveShare are builtin. Anyway Zed has a very interesting idea to provide links to codebase places that remain stable even after the codebase changes. This is pretty cool, because so many discussions about code quickly become outdated
