Funding from a16z, no thanks, I don't see how this is what "comes after git" with git in the name and at the core, other than their cute wordsmithing throughout their copy.
Here's the thing, Ai is the future of most UX, that will be the entrypoint. Tools like this, while they have desirable features, will be subsumed into the Ai interfaces because we do more than code with them, and people want fewer tools, not more. Further, I suspect the entrypoints that win will be the ones that are extensible, i.e. your IDE like VS Code, Vim, and Zed.
There is a quote of Linus that impacted how I select technology, something like
> I choose Fedora because it just works. I want to spend my time working on the kernel, not fiddling to get my OS to work.
So I choose mature technologies for the non-core competencies I'm working with, so I can focus on those core competencies. It's a medicine for NIH syndrome.
I'm personally switched from (n)vim to vscode for this reason, so I can now fiddle with a custom agent setup.
