Disabling the AI in Zed is one simple setting switch, they gained popularity by advertising exactly that feature.
Zed is a Code Editor. It’s like Eclipse or Visual Studio Code, except Visual Studio Code’s AI can’t be disabled. A better analogy is it’s like every pizzeria in town adds dog diarrhea as a non-optional topping except for one. I don’t care how many places do it, don’t come in here and try to fucking normalize dog diarrhea pizza.
I’m just not gonna trust Microsoft going forward. Theres a couple of repos of Codium with the telemetry and branding stripped out, but if I have the option to be completely nonreliant on them then that’s better.
I use Zed occasionally but only because they allow you to completely disable all AI garbage.
I really wish we had a full IDE without AI that doesn’t require tens of hours of configuration and learning.
you use a AI editor… and disable the AI
it’s like ordering a supreme pizza and picking off all the toppings

Probably a troll, just ignore
Actually, VSCodium is open source (unlike VSCode), and completely free of AI.
