    Isn’t the whole point of Zed being an open source Agentic IDE/Text Editor? I can’t say I really understand stripping it down from it’s main concept, considering that VSCodium, Helix, Kate, Geany, Emacs, Neovim, etc., are all great and ethical foss projects.

    But I’m not complaining either. The more FOSS projects, the better actually.

      nah, a few centuries ago it was actually an editor with a novel idea. Basically centered around collaborative features like live-coding, chats and etc. That was its main focus but the more AI became shoved into everything, they followed suit i guess and the zed we know today isn’t really the same anymore.

      It started as a replacement for Atom after Microsoft killed it with VSCode after the GitHub acquisition, then they pivoted to be AI focused because they saw that Cursor was beating VSCode by just having AI stuff, and now everything sucks.

      It started as a nice rust gui-based editor with a focus on collaborative editing. I think it shifted into the LLM stuff after its initial releases.

      I much prefer GUI editors with traditional keybindings and I’m very picky about their looks and behavior. VSCode and Zed were the only ones that I found were good enough. I considered VSCodium, but I think it has some issues with telemetry and AI stuff constantly leaking in from upstream. Gram is a hard, independent fork of Zed, so it shouldn’t have those issues.

      The two main draws are that its an “AI Editor” and most of the development has been working on those kinds of features. The other is that its in Rust, so should be very performant in general. Definitely seems to be defeating point 1 by forking it.
