> To simplify the setup process, we've introduced locators, a system that translates build configurations into debug configurations. Meaning that you can write a build task once in tasks.json and reference it from debug.json — or, even better, rely on Zed's automatic configuration. Does that work if my build is Docker based?

> Also very much depends on the business and specific company. In my banking mega corp, no AI is even allowed to be used This is a huge thing tbh. I don't like these AI things in general so I wouldn't use them anyway, but I just can't imagine going to my clients and asking them, "Hey is it okay with you if I routinely upload all your code to these random American venture-backed start-ups?". And I really can't imagine…
You can use local LLMs.
In any case, what I see most people doing is integrating it with Claude/Copilot/etc. The security concerns specifically obviously don't apply when running it locally.

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.
For some reason I've found myself wanting a "lighter VS Code" lateley, which is ironic considering I used VS Code for the past 10 years because it is so lightweight. So I've wanted to try out Zed, but it's just ... weird to go back to a closed source editor, especially one that's so focused on imitating copilot, which seems like an odd feature to shift most focus on.
Am I missing someone, or didn't they go open source last year? https://zed.dev/blog/zed-is-now-open-source
It's that it doesn't have an installer for Windows. That's what I was stuck on.
I could just build it... I guess.
Now, seeing that it's a GUI application, why would I use it, given that it seems to:
1. have no menus,
2. have no toolbars,
3. be AI-focused?
I did not know the Zed editor before. Now, seeing that it's a GUI application, why would I use it, given that it seems to: 1. have no menus, 2. have no toolbars, 3. be AI-focused?

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

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

Me too. I don't want AI, and if it's there, I want to be able to completely remove it. Zed is forcing it, so I'm staying on VSCodium.
What's forcing AI in Zed though? agent.enabled = false and it's gone, no?
I have a firewall, OpenSnitch, so don’t have to worry much about programs trying to connect. But definitely would prefer they don’t unless directed.
How does zed handle it?
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.

E.g. editors often integrate a terminal and file manager. I already have them open constantly, so have never used the integrated versions.
