By every metric - lines of code shipped, hours per week spent on it, number of people assigned to it, etc. - AI is a minority part of what Zed does. It's a priority, but it's not the priority.
I know there's a disproportionate amount of blogging about AI, but that's a decision about what prose gets written, not what code gets written!
The blog used to be really personal and nice but now it's all AI https://zed.dev/blog

I think after their Series B, looking at the roadmap, and now with this pricing featured it's pretty clear what their priorities have become.
I'm not against AI, I just feel like they can do better and their original mission is still a better long-term angle.
