> So, what you describe, is already in place. I guess mostly the "interfaces" are missing for you, or hard to discover maybe?

That's definitely an issue. Mind you, the general population is not a developer. I'm a mechanical engineer. I can code, use an IDE, but I hate having to figure out tooling the way you describe, and it's not a skill I'm interested in developing. What you are describing sounds to me like someone using vim and a terminal trying to convince me to stop using CLion, because they can make anything CLion can do work with their setup. Sure, I believe it, but for my part I'm going to wait for the features to be well integrated into finely designed software, I'm not going to duct-tape this stuff together to get a workflow that still involves writing out and tweaking prompts.

It also sounds to me that the AI/LLM vendors are still in a phase where they are trying to figure what the actual workflow should look like so they let their power users do that work for them. I'm not going to do that either.

I strongly believe that if you’re not in the business of predicting text or transforming it, the values of AI tools goes way down. Most people workflows are very routinely and with a constrained set of outputs. That’s why we build software and scripts for those. And for the rest, we need actual human judgment.
