Happy I never jumped on the JetBrains bandwagon...
I was curious about Z̶i̶g̶ Zed, until they too started adding AI garbage. Sad.
Luckily, I can be fairly confident that my trusty neovim will never add AI garbage unless I specifically go out of my way to install plug-ins.
EDIT: Zed, not Zig
- speed_spread 2y agoYou don't _have_ to use the AI stuff, personally I've disabled all of it because my fan was spinning like crazy. Maybe in a year or two I'll try it again.
- Nullabillity 2y agoYou're still stuck paying for the garbage regardless, and funding an organization that thinks this is an acceptable business direction.
- speed_spread 2y agoI was already a satisfied paying customer. I don't need that new stuff but I understand they have to go where the market goes if they want to stay relevant vs competitors (Microsoft VSCode/Github/Copilot) in the eyes of prospective customers who judge products using comparative feature grids. If you don't want to use an IDE or pay for your tools that's fine. You don't have to look for reasons to hate on it. No one cares what you don't use.
- Nullabillity 2y ago> I don't need that new stuff but I understand they have to go where the market goes if they want to stay relevant vs competitors Looking at the people racing to jump off the cliff and saying "let's maybe consider not doing that" can be an competitive advantage, see https://procreate.com/ai https://procreate.com/ai
- dakiol 2y agoFor now, I pressume. I guess it's a matter of time until the AI features can no longer be disabled.
- speed_spread 2y agoI like a good conspiracy but based on what? Jetbrains have no incentive to force that, they make money based on providing flexible tools that people will pay for. And their IDEs are desktop apps, you could always just... not upgrade. Unlike web or cloud-based "IDEs".
- o_m 2y agoZig? You mean Zed right?
- mort96 2y agoSorry, yes, Zed
- rgbrenner 2y agojust don’t install the plugin
- mystified5016 2y agoIt's automatically installed and bundled with the IDE. You can disable it, but to uninstall fully you have to manually delete files from each and every IDE installation
- yodon 2y agoAs mentioned in another comment, you can add a .noai file to the root of your project to disable AI support. As to deleting files that ship with the app but that aren't used if you disable them... that feels awfully 1980's "gosh disk space is expensive" thinking.
- jwortmann719 2y agothat was a bug that we used to have in an early version of AI Assistant, that has been fixed. You can normally disable and uninstall the plugin now
- jonasdoesthings 2y agoWhich Zig are you talking about?
- helsinki 2y agoHave you used Avante + MCPHub in Neovim? I would say that it's far from AI garbage.
- mort96 2y agoThat looks like exactly the kind of AI garbage that I'm happy isn't included in neovim!
- hmottestad 2y agoDon’t know about neovim, but the profiler and debugger in IntelliJ are amazing. Couldn’t live without them.
- flakiness 2y agoThanks for the reminder! I was looking for a modern editor without AI stuff (I do like AI things but sometimes you'd want an off.) Didn't notice it became open source. Nice!
