Zen is simply a fork of Zed for those who are happy to use an IDE free from AI, telemetry, and other cloud-based services. I use it as my daily driver and intend to maintain it so that I can also use it as the base for some non-developer tooling I want to create.
Only tested on Linux for now, though Zed’s support for other platforms should be (mostly?) intact.
Does it qualify as cognitive dissonance maintaining a fork of a partially vibe-coded product to remove vibe-coding tooling because you hate vibe-coding?
Maybe, but don’t ruin the vibe over it.
Hehe, I suppose it might to some extent 😅 But well, I don’t wish to control how others do their coding, and it would be silly to ignore other’s code altogether because they used a different method than the one I prefer.
