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.

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 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.
