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.

I didn't tried Zed in a while, are really intrusive the AI features? Can't it be just disabled with some configuration?

they are not intrusive but their entire focus changed on that instead of other features. Entire Git view feels abandoned in half done state yet they spent entire month working on AI chats, AI agents, their own AI edit (that's priced 20 per month yet they boast how light and performant it is -- why isn't it free local model then and why its priced worse than copilot?)

They're moving from "making awesome code editor" into yet another "buy our ai" product

The fact that they have released both features within 3 months of each other is mind boggling. Their development velocity is insane. These are not trivial features.

Give them some time to polish, jeez.

Copying a buffer into a network call, reading a response, writing the buffer. Not trivial per se, but table stakes for an experienced developer.

Rust probably slows them down here, but working correctly early is preferable imho.

Over simplify much?

Which computer science frontiers are being pushed here at the user interface level, do you think?

(This is referring to their recent integration work. The acceleration layer was usable a year or more ago.)
