IMO, as AIs improve the need for conventional IDEs will disappear completely. You can already go very far with just Claude Code/Codex/Gemini CLI.

  I have started "dumbing down" my IDE's and editors, because they are only for the occasional manual editing, code browsing/reviews and commits. I haven't used AI auto complete in months.

  I think the opposite. These CLI tools are a stopgap until we get proper IDE integration. Even the existing extensions for vscode I find have a much better ux than the clis

  Except IDEs also get to augment their powers with AI. I don't get this fixation with CLI, having started in computing when we couldn't afford anything else.

    It's not fixation. The GPT's interface is text.

      Yeah, we should have kept those green and amber phosphor VT100 around, why bother with X, what a waste.

        I was explaining the current state of things, not suggesting it will stay the same in the future. Specifically, addressing "fixation" wording. The snark is misplaced.

  I agree that we probably don’t need the conventional features in the future but about completely disappearing I am not sure. In my mind we’re switching to a workflow where code review at the end will be the most important part.

  Why not using the best of both worlds?
