When IDEs entered the market, they were the talk of the town. Improve your programming speed. Blazingly fast refactoring. A graphical debugger and logging information. Intellisense, inline documentation and the whole nine yards.

Many developers never bothered with IDEs. We were happy using Vim, Emacs and many of us continue to do so today.

It's not surprising the first "innovation" was agentic programming with a modified IDE.

I'm sure many people will enjoy their new IDEs. I don't enjoy it. I enjoy doing things a different way.
