Folks who know Pulsar and Zed internals: which one of them is more likely to gain support for Atom packages? I find Hydrogen[1] invaluable as a data science scratchpad since it supports python/r/julia/etc under a common interface via jupyter, and have been unable to construct a comparable workflow in vscode or any other editor [using scripts as opposed to notebooks, which i find far too bloated].

Pulsar already supports (nearly) all the Atom packages and has a brand new backend reverse engineered from the closed source Atom.io packages backend. I think it is unlikely you will get any Atom support in Zed any time soon.

Some packages had to be removed due to incompatible licenses
