I actually agree with you that LLM assistance is inevitable. The fact that we can have small local models is what convinces me that the tech won't go away. Even if things are going the direction you say, though, Kilo is still just a fork of VSCode. Lipstick on a pig, perhaps. I would bet that I know the strengths and weaknesses of your architecture quite a lot better than anyone on the Kilo team because the price of admission for you is not questioning any of VSCode's decisions, while I consider all of them worthy of questioning and have done so at great length in the process of building something from scratch that your team bypassed.
