I was interested in Zed, but lost all interest when they started integrating "AI". I'm tired of "AI" everywhere.

I'll just stick with Neovim until something better comes around. Which probably won't happen until after the "AI" bubble bursts.

Zed was the first editor that tempted me into using AI features. It felt solid in general and AI feels mostly like autocomplete in other editors (in terms of how much it's in your face). There's definitely a place for AI models and agents in code editors, and Zed makes me feel like it's not built around them, which is great! Zed feel like "Come to us, we are making a good fast editor that also has AI." while competition feel like "Come to us, we want AI that has an editor".

I'm genuinely happy it works for you. I just don't want AI in my text editor, even if you're happy with it.

I suspect you’ll be an extreme minority.

I won’t go near a code editor anymore without AI integrated deeply.

And I suspect you are an extreme minority. Among senior and staff engineers I barely see them leaving behind emacs, vim and jetbrains… none of them with ai plug-ins.

Let me clarify. Things are only going in one direction.

So if you’re not in the minority now, you will be in time.

This is not a “tech bro” thing (as someone else said). There is real substance to it.
