Now we have 3 ways of coding:

* vim / emacs - full manual

* VSCode / IntelliJ - semi-automatic

* ClaudeCode/Codex/OpenCode/... - fully automated

Saying it can't stay in between is like saying a company can't sell both regular bikes and electric bikes. Or bikes that can do both.

There are some critical parts of architecture where sometimes I really do need to see the code and even sometimes put a wall around it and tell the agent they can't touch it.

Why?

Are you saying they can’t compete with VS Code in the semi-automatic space?

		Yes, They can't compete VSCode is open source and ahead, and getting lots of contributions from different companies. On the other hand, you have JetBrains with a specific expertise in JVM based dev environments, it's possible to compete with them, but very time consuming They better focus on one thing and win the developers, otherwise they would lose (and losing) to Claude Code and Codex on one side, on the other side they will lose to JetBrains and VSCode Better to focus
