Can anyone recommend some IDEs that don’t use AI, not owned by awful corporations, and preferably no online features at all? Of course I am aware of vim, neovim, etc. but ideally I’m looking for a gentler entry from other popular IDEs.

Yes, Eclipse. 20-year-ago me would have a stroke saying that (due to it being pretty ‘heavyweight’ for the PCs back then) but it’s got support for any language you can think of with plugins and an app store for everything. But, no AI crap unless you seek it out, I presume.
I remember running Eclipse with 1GB of RAM 😭
It’s been a few years (not many, just a few) but last I used eclipse it was clunky, slow and cumbersome for everything you wanted to do. Even relatively simple tasks ended up being tedious. Finding any option or feature usually required Google.
It also loved crashing, a lot.
Eclipse definitely earned its hate for a long time, but it’s heaviness waned more and more as systems got faster and had more ram. By the time I stopped using it, it was practically snappy and that was over ten years ago. That being said, I’m not exactly excited to jump back into it.
