I think the interesting part here is not so much the IDE/coding aspect, but LLM-assisted: * requirements doc * design doc * plan doc These alone make an interesting product. Give me a thing that asks me the right, thought provoking questions (ideally let me answer by just choosing from a list of relevant options) and produces these docs in a structured and highly detailed way, and I’m set. I think the code is just a distraction. There are plenty of tools for that.

True for greenfield projects, but once a project moves beyond greenfield, the assistant will need to understand the existing codebase in order to plan anything correctly. Once it has functionality to understand a codebase, and understand the requirements, plan, and architecture direction, then it's going to have the most context to make edits, so may as well make it an editor too.
