Here my problem with this: I don't want to be jumping an editor/IDE every 6 months, learning new key bindings and even more importantly, getting used to a completely new look.

In a space that moves as quickly as "AI" does, it is inevitable that a better and cheaper solution will pop up at some point. We kinda already see it with Cursor and Windsurf. I guess Claude Code is all the rage now and I personally think CLI/TUI is the way to go for anyone that has a similar view.

That said, I'm sure there's a very big user base (probably bigger than terminal group) that will enjoy using this and other GUI apps.

This is why you will have to pry vim and my own brain out of my cold dead hands.

It’s not just the IDE but the ML model you are selling yourself to. I see my colleagues atrophy before me. I see their tools melt in their hands. I am rapidly becoming the only person functionally capable of reason on my own. It’s very very weird.

When the model money dries up what’s going to happen?

I dunno. There's also a good chance that you just end up being left behind like graybeards that only wanted to code in C and assembler.

I too am old enough to have seen a lot of unnecessary tech change cycles, and one thing I've noticed about this industry is no matter how foolish a trend was, we almost never unwind it.

All the people I know in the US with those skills make huge amounts of money- at least, the ones who haven't already retired rich.

Yes. The ones who maintain high risk system software that allows all these machines to be able to train LLMs, compile the systems software or maintaining systems that ingest 2% of the worlds traffic are the ones who are making a lot of money out of this.

Not the ones maintaining frontend web apps or "vibe coding".
