The more I'm using @zed the more I'm liking it. I have the AI features disabled, of course, but it was super simple to get my dev environments for Java, Python, C/C++, and even C#. Only thing I'm missing is a way to run my unit tests in the editor as opposed to CLI, but that can wait.

Zed also helped me to resolve a weird issue I was seeing in a Java project that VSCodium said wasn't there.

@thekerker @zed Just for your awareness: they do use vibecoding in that project. I have a policy to not run AI generated code if I can avoid it, so I block AI agent accounts on GitHub so I get a big banner whenever I look at a repository with commits from one of them.

@bryce @zed ugh, that's good to know. Before long the only editors left without vibe coded slop will be Emacs and vi.

Look into Gram on codeberg and see it it fits your use case? Fork of Zed with AI features removed.
