Can anyone recommend some IDEs that don’t use AI, not owned by awful corporations, and preferably no online features at all? Of course I am aware of vim, neovim, etc. but ideally I’m looking for a gentler entry from other popular IDEs.

    Perhaps the KDE one, KDevelop, or maybe Eclipse. In the terminal I’d recommend Helix. It’s sort of like vim but with more intuitive controls (personal opinion, don’t kill me), and the functionality is built in to the core program rather than relying on many plugins. You only have to add an LSP server for code completion/popover documentation, just like VSCode

      Yes, Eclipse. 20-year-ago me would have a stroke saying that (due to it being pretty ‘heavyweight’ for the PCs back then) but it’s got support for any language you can think of with plugins and an app store for everything. But, no AI crap unless you seek it out, I presume.

        Eclipse definitely earned its hate for a long time, but it’s heaviness waned more and more as systems got faster and had more ram. By the time I stopped using it, it was practically snappy and that was over ten years ago. That being said, I’m not exactly excited to jump back into it.

        It’s been a few years (not many, just a few) but last I used eclipse it was clunky, slow and cumbersome for everything you wanted to do. Even relatively simple tasks ended up being tedious. Finding any option or feature usually required Google.

        It also loved crashing, a lot.
