I've recently completed moving Blade to objc2, since it was blocking my blade-graphics-0.6 release. Seems to be working well: there are zero instances of Might be worth reconsidering for Zed to just switch to Blade on macOS and drop the metal-rs based graphics backend, to save time instead of porting it. I realize that it may require a few changes in the presentation, related to how it may need to be done in CoreAnimation transaction in some cases but not the others. Happy to help get them in! The Zed on Blade Metal path is currently available via "gpui/macos-blade" feature, and the latest Blade uprev is coming in #22409. |

Describe the feature
It seems like the ecoystem is moving towards using objc2 instead of objc as the latter is unmaintained. Doing so would probably allow us to drop media crate altogether (plus it'd be a win in terms of interacting with Mac platform code). It also seems like the latest version of Blade (0.6.0) is using objc2 as well (though we're not using that for our Mac build I think?)
