CLion (and other JetBrains IDEs for that matter) doesn’t send any of your code to AI in the Cloud (unless you use sth like AI Assistant yourself, of course)

It does send telemetry and analytics I believe? I should have been broader in the tracking I specified…

All duckduckgo software is filled with telemetry and analytics that cannot be disabled (The search engine, the Android web browser, the Windows web browser).

FWIW All DuckDuckGo telemetry is completely anonymous: https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/privacy/atb

I've been using Kate (KDE's advanced text editor) recently.

That thing is wicked fast and works really well with gopls.

VSCodium without any extensions? IMO it's the extensions that are the big exfil risk, not necessarily the editor.

The old standbys of Vim and Emacs.

Doom Emacs (https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs)

Eclipse is still around...

Eclipse for IDE and KATE for "Code aware text editor".

Helix if you like working in your terminal.

neovim is what I've switched to. Ironically, using ChatGPT has made it easier to adopt and customize.

Notepad++, SublimeText, vi and Emacs clones, Netbeans, Eclipse,....

vim, with a clangd plugin for ide like navigation and error hints
