Kiro: A new agentic IDE

Important: it's another fork of VSCode.

I thought AI was ushering in the age of innovation so why is the only innovation anyone seems capable of copying something that already exists...?

In all actuality, AI seems to be ushering out the age of innovation since people now consider it foolish to spend their time trying to innovate instead of clone

It does show that they're not limited to just greenfield projects, which is a common perspective. That said, IDK if a fork that is never planned to be merged back in really constitutes a non-greenfield project. It's more like a greenfield with a head start.

I believe most projects use VSCode because it is hard to build a cross platform code editor with plugin system.

And if you're going to copy, might as well be the most popular editor to reduce user friction.
