Are we at the extinguish phase now?
mjburgess•15m ago
Given the number of vs code competitors, I think "extinguish" maybe on the other side this time.

If anyone else would be generous enough to offer a free IDE with free AI code completion, they could give VS Code a run for its money, but as far as I know this hasn't happened yet? Zed for instance is available for free, very AI-centric, and you can use it with any of the popular LLMs, but you still have to pay for the LLM...

They can try but they no longer have the power to do that.

Hardly surprising. The AI business model is to charge a haircut on all work, this is just them doing that.

Is IntelliCode the same as Intelisense (the non-AI based suggestions thing)?
rob74•12m ago
It's actually in the third paragrapth of the article:

> The classic IntelliSense with language server for the used language is still free – but without AI support.

Probably targeted at enterprise customers forcing them embrace co-pilot with big pockets. Bad move for individual users as this will only drive them to alternatives, instead of shelling out money.

If anyone is considering moving editors, I was recently in the same boat and I can’t recommend enough lazyvim + the ebook “lazyvim for ambitious developers”.

This gets you a fully featured vscode-like baseline (navigation, language integration, integrated terminal, the whole thing).

I had tried many times to switch to vim/emacs and the initial barrier to get a workable system always kept me from pushing forward. With this I was able to make neovim my daily driver at work after just a couple weekends playing with it.
