I mean, we could simply fork it when it becomes meaningful to do so, right? Gram, as far as I understand, was created as a reaction to the age requirement in the Zed cloud Terms of Service and to AI, which is already something you can disable entirely (there’s a “disable_ai” settings option dedicated to that). I don’t think that makes much sense.
Nope. I do have a single contribution to Zed and an extension. No attachment to the community or project though. But I do see that they are passionate enough to walk back on decisions that their community tells them is bad.
you’ll be happy Gram exists.
That’s the thing. I don’t think so. Looking at its commit history, Gram is already significantly behind on features and more importantly, fixes. If/when enshittification happens, I’d rather have an up-to-date fork and I’d rather it be a fork for a more valid reason.
Edit: to clarify: I’m not really against gram, i just don’t understand why it exists right now. It also seems like the dev is relatively new to rust. All in all, it just feels like something that should have happened a bit later.
Didn’t know all of them, thanks for sharing! Also stumbled upon Helix, which looks pretty neat
Practically speaking, why would you pick Gram over Zed? I mean actual advantages
Zed is on the typical VC tech company path, which we all know can only end in one way: enshitification.

Do you work for Zed or something? Why are you against this?
If you’re just a user, then when (not if) the project fully enshittifies, you’ll be happy Gram exists.

I checked out Lapce and I like it a lot, but I can’t really live without my Jupyter Notebook extension 😕
