"Why did I decide to fork Zed? There are many ways to answer this question. I am interested in learning more about using Rust for serious projects. I was looking for an alternative to VS Code for my students. I couldn't accept the Terms of Use. I think AI integration in a code editor is a bad feature. AI makes me angry. Anger motivates me."
"Gram is a brand new fork of the existing Rust-based programmer's editor. What's different about Gram is that it removes most of the non-text-editing features from Zed: it has no LLM-bot integration, and no chat tool for talking to your colleagues. Gram's developer also states that he couldn't accept Zed's Terms of Use, and so Gram has none."
"Zed is an all-new editor for programmers written in Rust by several of the team who created the Atom editor. Atom was the original Electron app, and thus, it led to tools such as the handy Balena Etcher. The latest version 0.225.12 is a 145 MB download containing a 391 MB application, and it does a great deal more than just edit text."
Gram 1.0 is a new text editor forked from Zed, a Rust-based programmer's editor originally created by former Atom developers. Gram strips away most non-text-editing features, including LLM-bot integration and colleague chat tools. The developer created Gram due to disagreements with Zed's terms of service, philosophical opposition to AI integration in code editors, and a desire to provide an alternative to VS Code. Zed itself is a relatively lightweight editor despite its extensive features, including syntax formatting and LLM coding assistant integration. The creation of Gram has reportedly influenced Zed Industries to revise its terms of use.
