I think a large number of leading-edge devs will stop using IDEs in the next 12 months.
I've always used an IDE because I like the UI, but I find that for agentic coding, there's now a huge amount of cruft in the IDE UI that just slows me down and slows the agent down.
I'm moving to just using CLI agents + gitui + a couple terminal panes and I'm way faster.
Curious to hear everyone's thoughts.
I think we're starting to see the beginning of SDLC 2.0
This also means it's time for GitHub 2.0 to emerge.
@ryancarson Anecdotal: I switched to Claude Code full-time six months ago. Whenever I do come back to Cursor/VS Code, it feels over-engineered and clunky.
