    At first, I tried to build some other efforts I found online to make Zed work without the AI features just so I could check it out, but didn't manage to get them to work. At some point, the curiosity turned into spite.
I... I can identify with the above sentiment so much. "OK, then I will create my own IDE with blackjack and hookers"

I guess I have no choice but to give it a go.

I'm not sure about the title here because AFAIK Zed is the only IDE that lets you disable all AI features with one line in configuration. You can set `"disable_ai": true` to achieve this.

Supposedly you can also do that in one line in VSCode, via the "chat.disableAIFeatures" setting:

Just tried it. Works. Very nice! Would be interesting to know what is still left that Gram removes...

That still leaves all the AI stuff in the bloated binary
