I'll chime in with my personal experience: I spend about 50-60% of my time in GPT-4 just pasting code, prompting for what I want and then pasting it back into my code editor.

If this is my workflow most of the time, then surely this can be more streamlined. The way to streamline it would be:

1. Can I tell GPT-4 about my components (and always be up to date)

2. Can I ask GPT-4 to write to the file directly

3. If the output has an error, can I ask GPT to look at the compile time error and auto fix it?

The 3 things I mentioned above is something I do every single day. We're just looking to make it easier.

Cursor.sh, Continue, and (probably? i dunno) Copilot do those things well.
