I don't know about you, but I really dislike the aggressive push of #AI tools and agents in text editors and IDEs. I don't mind them having AI features, but enabling many of them by default and pushing for some AI subscriptions is quite annoying.

I have a feeling that one day being AI-less/light might become a feature for some people. Makes me appreciate the simplicity of editors like #Emacs, #vim and #helix even more.

In case you're wondering - I much prefer to use tools like Claude Code from the command-line than bundle everything one can imagine in some editor. Less is more.
