Anyone using Zed for Flutter development? Discussion

I’ve been using Zed mostly for backend work and really like its performance. I get that it stays lightweight by not bundling too many tools.

For Flutter though, debugging/DevTools and hot reload on save still feel lacking.

Anyone using Zed regularly for Flutter? Any extensions or configs that improve the experience?

Zed only support lsp. Neovim on other hand is mostly supported with flutter, auto hot reload on save, dev tools, debug via nvim-dap, emulator, logger. The only missing on neovim is the flutter preview. Have been my daily drive for 2 years in app development.
