Do either Windsurf or Cursor work well with local or no AI? One of the things I like about Zed is that it can, and is completely free.

- ohroy 1y agoExcuse me, can you read what I wrote? I didn't say zed editor is bad, I just said that zed's PREDICT EDIT isn't good enough, or at least it shouldn't charge for it.
- rk06 1y agothey shouldn't charge for it because their competetors have money to burn?? that is not how business works
- ohroy 1y agoI just say they shouldn't charge for it PREDICT EDIT. The reason is that it's not even as good as the free ones. I don't know why you've become such a fanatic, but if you want to support them you can donate.
- MrDrMcCoy 1y agoI never thought you said Zed was bad. I was genuinely asking since Cursor and Windsurf exclusively advertise AI features, whereas Zed is also a good editor without AI. I never bothered to try them because I inherently distrust AI that I don't control, and find the cloud stuff to be too expensive on top. Just wanted to know if they're any good, or can even be used at all, without AI; since their websites say nothing on the subject.
- ohroy 1y agoYes, windsurf and cursor will also work whitout AI, cause it just fork from vscode. I like zed very much. If u dont like AI, then zed is best editor for you. (and for me if zed's AI is good enough)
