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!

Not sure about live HTML preview, but I ended up picking Gram as well, on my search for AI-free software. (By the way, I found open-slopware a good resource for this.) Someone else already mentioned it in this thread, but I wanted to add some context. Gram is a fork of Zed, which is built for and with AI. It is therefore already tainted, if that's something you care about. However, I found the Manifesto neat. (It also has official support for Zig which is what I was looking for specifically at the time.)

Oh and I was also recommended Kate. I haven't gotten to try it, but it could be an alternative worth considering.
