Sometimes worse is better. I haven't used it a lot yet, but so far I quite like this reduced focus on editing - I see this as close to the sweet spot of vibe coding, in between Claude Code and a full editor/IDE, whereby I generally trust the agent to right the code, but just want a simple editor to steer it more effectively.

I see this similarly to the way I would have a work session with a more junior dev where sometimes during the chat I would "drop down in abstraction" to show them how I'd code a specific function, but I don't want to take over - I'm giving them a bit of direction, and it's up to them to either keep my code or ignore/rewrite it to better suit their approach.

I get that it’s a different mode, but if you ever drop into editing, why would you ever want a worse (or just unfamiliar) editor? How does that improve the agent mode? If my junior dev only had Notepad installed, I would get them to install a better editor, I wouldn’t say “it’s great you only have Notepad, so we can focus on our conversation”.
