No need to change your IDE to AI/vibe code.

There are already a few good VS Code extensions like Cline and Kilo Code which do 80/20 of the job.

Even Copilot has caught up with its chat and agent editing features.

Using Cursor is a lot easier than Roo Code or Cline. It has a much better UI and it's faster for streaming tool uses, and I believe it's cheaper.

the proper timeline is

cline -> roo -> kilo

There's also things like goose, plandex, and aider.

The real problem is what to with all those bugs written by the AI, however you choose to vibe them.

That's what my latest effort, https://github.com/kristopolous/llmehelp is trying to address.

Why are so many people conflating Cursor's main value proposition with "vibe coding"? AI assisted development is not "vibe coding", which is just a silly gimmick to churn out half-assed insecure garbage quickly.

Edit: oh, it's because the article erroneously claims it's a "vibe coding app." Yikes.

I have a paint-rapido pointed at a keywords list with JDVance in a dumpster at the center.

Kilo is not "Vibe" coding, nor does it need to steal "Intellectual" "property" at the end of it's 5 hours shift.

I am about done with VSCode and it's claims of usefulness. I started long before the internet and PCs.

Considering how hostile Microsoft is being to forks - even benign ones like VS Codium - it's probably worth it to explore switching to another IDE anyways.
