I prefer IDEs like Zed that don't lock me in to their ecosystem and force me to "log in" to use them.

`codeium` which is now `windsurf` started out as a vscode fork IIRC

  • Codeium started as VS Code extension (after their pivot). The whole Windsurf rebrand fork happened years later

  • you missed the point. Zed develops and pioneers ACP (Agent Client Protocol), which I can also use in other editors and with other agents. at the moment, only Neovim is available as an alternative editor, but nothing stops, say, JetBrains from implementing it. I can plug Codex, Gemini, Claude Code, and Goose directly into my editor of choice.
