Some programmers want free IDEs without AI features

A recent graduate wants to start coding again and is looking for a free IDE. The desired tool should be a little more capable than NP++, but still simple.

The main complaint is that many modern coding tools now include many AI , and turning those off can be difficult. The need is for a quiet coding setup with no AI assistance at all.

Key points

  • The request is for a free coding tool with no AI .
  • The wanted tool should be simpler than a large professional setup but stronger than NP++.
  • The biggest frustration is that AI are now common in IDEs.
  • The second frustration is that those AI can be hard to turn off.
