Yeah exactly this! I get they want to stay in the game and follow the market, but I’m sad they’re not being more aggressive on that original vision. I still think there could be a huge payoff for them if they invested more on their brand and aesthetics of a more polished and comfy editor.

The way I see it, we’re sort of living in a world where UX is king. (Looking at you Cursor)

I feel like there’s a general sentiment where folks just want a sense of home with their tools more than anything. Yes they need to work, but they also need to work for you in your way. Cursor reinvented autocomplete with AI and that felt like home for most, what’s next? I see so much focus on Agents but to me personally that feels more like it should live on the CI/CD layer of things. Editors are built for humans, something isn’t quite there yet, excited to see how it unfolds.
