I feel the opposite way, but fwiw you can turn off all AI features in Zed by adding `"disable_ai": true` to your settings.json.

Yes, that is correct, but this indicates change of the product direction that make me lost any trust or interest in it. Their core features were done nicely, they should have stayed and developed them, maybe introduce more file editing related functionality.

The AI features work well but to each their own

That's alright, there's always Sublime Text.

Or TextMate -- that Sublime was, let's say, "inspired by."

My main editor for the last 15 years is Emacs.

you dropped this king

Why? Its still incredibly plug and play, by default you don't even see it
