In other words... their access to an OpenAI API key is what makes them special? Them and what army?
This is just one of those things where I could see an investor buying the idea, but I'd actually laugh at someone paying $20/month of their own money for this. You're not even getting an IDE for your money, you're getting a version of a free program that you pay to unlock a remote feature. There are Open Source plugins for VS Code that let you bring your own backend (or use OpenAI's) and do everything you see here.
Seems to be their biggest moat is assuming that most of their customers are too lazy to care about superior alternatives.
