Yeah you can turn off the AI it's not mandatory, besides, it's really fast, has built in support for LSP's , custom themes which are easy to make, vim mode out of the box, extensions, and some GitHub functionalities.

I was using Kate because electron is too much of a hog on my system and zed works insanely well (it's slightly slower than Kate though but not very important)

I wish you could turn off the automatic downloads on zed though (or have a prompt to confirm the download) but it's really shaping up to be a great text editor.

I'm currently mid-migration from Windows to Linux, so I have to wait until the Windows release or until I finish migrating (I'm not really up for building a beta at this point), but I'm very excited.

It's not done, but I've replaced VSCode and haven't felt the need to come back, moreover If I were to go back I'd miss Zed because it's just that good.

Like it feels so light and fast 🤤
