alt Hacker NewsI'd love to try Zed out but I'm locked out unless they deliver a build without any AI integration, or deliver the build tools so that I can build my own editor on their foundation.
Either is fine by me, but I have zero interest until one of those things happen.

I've only tried Zed like a year ago, and personally have no need for an editor I cannot run in the terminal, but couldn't you just like turn off those features and/or not use those features?
As mentioned, I don't know how much in the way they get, if you don't use them, do they get in the way or something of "normal" usage?

That's silly. Turn it off if you don't want to use it, but don't expect anyone to build a special fork for you.

They have a single switch that will remove all AI features from the interface. Why do you need more than that? This is not a rhetorical question. I genuinely don't understand it — if you can get all of those features completely out of sight, deactivated, with no trace of them left except that one switch, why is that not enough? Is it as though any kind of AI integration like contaminates the purity of the code or something?
