why would you use an IDE if you are not the one coding? You can review the code in github/gitlab using prs, but not necessarily code.. I feel IDEs are not the best environment for coding agents UI because the prioritize code editing, and the interaction with agents has a different priority.
i still code, but i'm searching an IDE that preserve the human in loop, for example showing better the code added/changed by the agent, but yeah i would like to have a better interaction with the agent while coding, infact i tend to use small models with high inference so i can procede with him without losing the flow.
I mean if you are using version control like git you can always see diffs. I would say it might be easier to go that way into checking small changes into commits and dev branches, then you can try a very good diff UI that will refresh each change. Thats one way.
