#2I actually respect the move.
It’s not subtle, and it’s not trying to please everyone.
You may agree or not with the direction, but at least it’s clearly stated.

#3I love vscodium but more and more I worry about how Microsoft is effecting it down stream. To the point where I'm actively looking into making my own editor. I'm putting it off for now but I'll probably start playing around with Theia and Codemirror on the side just in case.

It’s honest. Time was when the number of improvements in every release was impressive and sometimes radical improvements.
For at least a couple of years it’s been nothing but AI, I am happy to ignore updates and should probably just turn them off now.

I appreciate the clarity, anyway. I will wait and see how intrusive the AI focus turns out to be.
If it turns out to be very intrusive, I guess I'll use Clion for my platformio stuff:

(since I've already got a Toolbox subscription from them)
and neovim or zed for my blog. That's really all I was using VS Code for anyway.

Why would you look to make your own code editor?
There are so many already and for example NeoVim is great and would allow you to make modifications as you please.
I’m not trying to disprove your argument, rather I’m interested in your motivations

same boat. I switched to codium mostly out of purity from AI, and I'd really like it to stay that way, while still getting other QoL improvements. I'm pretty concerned that there's not enough to justify the niche, though.

#8AI-code editor or AI code-editor? Future versions may include traversing gigabytes of code, supervising hundreds of agents, and peer-to-peer (P2P) content-addressed caching.
Someday, could right-click a dependency and click "Zero dep," and it updates with a library integrated with the app. Stored in the cloud, other users benefit from the same generated output.
Apps become instances consuming them, the thinnest crust around various baked libs (mantle) or triggering changes in the molten core.

#9Complete with grammar error. Even Google search "AI" knows about that hyphen.

#10THE open source AI code editor? Are they pretending that Zed does not exist?
