Hi. I’m looking for a good code editor that doesn’t have any AI in it at all. My problem is, I like modern code editors like VSCodium, but I think it has AI or at least supports it. I know Zed has AI and Zed is kind of complicated to use. Here are my requests for a code editor:
No AI or telemetry Built-in live preview for HTML Built-in terminal Extensions
Right now, I’m using Pulsar, but it has no live preview that I know of. Any suggestions help. I’m not a fan of notepad++, though. It’s very complicated to setup and use. Thanks in advance!
Have you tried disabling the AI in Zed? There’s a toggle in the settings to disable all AI features. I’ve disabled the AI and it’s actually a really nice, responsive, clean editor. Just one toggle, and it doesn’t re-enable itself. The whole “AI-native” marketing really put me off trying it, but it’s now become my go-to IDE for when I’m working on a project where I want a more fully-featured IDE than Vim (my go-to for just editing text files eg standalone scripts, small projects).
If you don’t want to do that, or if you try it and still don’t like Zed, maybe Kate?
