Number 1 is Zed but it’s not actually an “AI editor”, they’re just leaning into it a bit for funding. Its a fully open source Rust editor made by the former Atom developers and I highly recommend it as a replacement for Microsoft’s VSCode. A good selling point is that its not just another electron app and has a native UI. On first startup, they even offer you the option to fully disable any AI features
If you do want to enable AI, they’ve worked hard to allow you to use your own self hosted model
Why replace VSCode is it’s also open source? (VSCodium)
Less Microsoft and a native UI. Microsoft is already making it hard to use alternative releases of VSCode like Codium by restricting them from using their extension marketplace and things like Pylance (their newer, more advanced proprietary Python LSP that replaces Pyright). Try to even download a .vsix extension from Microsoft’s site - you can’t because they don’t offer the ability to anymore without VSCode
Zed also openly integrates with LSP so you can use servers like basedpyright and get a more featurefull editor than Code
edit: I realise I sound like a Zed salesman but I really like it lol
