At some point we need to start preferring GUIs instead of terminals as the AI starts giving us more and more information. Features like hover-over tooltips and toggle switches designed for mouse operation might really start to matter.
Maybe "AI IDEs" will gain ground in the future, e.g. vibe-kanban
- metaltyphoon 9mo agoPlease for the love of God no. I rather have something completely agnostic of an IDE. OpenCode is doing the right thing IMO
- cmrdporcupine 9mo agoYou can have something IDE agnostic but still not be dependent on the ancient VT100 terminal protocol and rendering path. (That said I do like being able to SSH in and run an agent that way. But there are other remote access modalities.)
- bibabaloo 9mo agoYes I don't understand why Claude code needs to be a terminal app. It doesn't compose with any other command line program and the terminal interface is limiting. I'm surprised nobody has yet made a coding assistant that runs in the browser or as a standalone app. At this point it doesn't really need to integrate with my text editor or IDE.
- Wowfunhappy 9mo ago> It doesn't compose with any other command line program For what it's worth, it absolutely can, just not when invoked in interactive mode. (This doesn't really contradict your overall point though.)
- troupo 9mo agoWe could do complicated UIs in terminals in the 1990s. Unfortunately, vibe coders cannot do that anymore.
