So I'm glad there are more agentic dev tools coming out, but can we please stop making entirely new IDEs and start integrating as plugins to well-established (and some already paid for) IDEs we already use? Webstorm/other Jetbrains, VS Code, etc.
It is a huge hassle to match my existing settings, which I've spent countless hours tweaking over the years, with a new editor that can't import them. :(
- imiric 1y agoThe obvious solution is a meta-IDE that integrates all these other IDEs and plugins.[1] Or, you know, stop chasing the latest trends, and use whatever you're most comfortable with. [1]: https://xkcd.com/927/ https://xkcd.com/927/
- williamzeng0 1y agoShameless plug but our co is building a AI plugin for JetBrains that has next edit autocomplete + a strong coding agent (sweep dev)
- AstroBen 1y agoIsn't that competing directly with JetBrains themselves?
- williamzeng0 1y agoYes but I think they have worse things to worry about, namely Cursor. Also if you're interested our plugin is https://sweep.dev https://sweep.dev!
