Hi. I’m looking for a good code editor that doesn’t have any AI in it at all. My problem is, I like modern code editors like VSCodium, but I think it has AI or at least supports it. I know Zed has AI and Zed is kind of complicated to use. Here are my requests for a code editor:

No AI or telemetry Built-in live preview for HTML Built-in terminal Extensions

Right now, I’m using Pulsar, but it has no live preview that I know of. Any suggestions help. I’m not a fan of notepad++, though. It’s very complicated to setup and use. Thanks in advance!

    People here gave great suggestions!

    • simple graphical: Kate
    • powerful but complicated graphical: Emacs
    • simple terminal: Helix
    • Powerful but complicated terminal: Neovim
    • (honorable mention) graphical: Geany

    Live HTML previews isn’t a dealbreaker feature. Use external tools like https://github.com/Abenezer-Daniel-1/live-html

    So now this requirement is decoupled from your editor.

      I read that Emacs does have live preview, but that could be wrong. I’m not advanced enough yet to use Emacs, but maybe someday I will be!
