Do we need AI IDEs?
Read OriginalThis article critically examines the trend of AI-integrated development environments (IDEs) like Cursor, Kiro, and Windsurf. It explores whether these new, often VSCode-forked IDEs are truly necessary, comparing their core features (chat windows, diff views) to existing plugins. The author discusses the motivations behind these tools and what an ideal AI-enhanced editor should provide, questioning if they justify creating entirely new IDEs.
