Same, it's lovely software for that mode of work!

I also briefly tried out other ADEs, like:

- Kepler (by the GitKraken folks) - https://www.gitkraken.com/kepler

Kepler had a really nice issue tracker integration but the UI was very vibey and not quite as to the point as I'd like (who needs graph visualization of what the agents do, just give me tools that work), and Paseo had a really nice UI that I could use to drive both Codex and Claude Code, but some OpenCode agents would sometimes hang and I didn't have tools to really do anything about it.

Maybe I should also give JetBrains Air a look again, if I ever end up subscribing to them again (I just moved to Zed for my code editing): https://www.jetbrains.com/air/

Interesting space, with so many additional tools popping up! That said, the OpenCode TUI was really pleasant too.

I actually just decided to cancel my Jetbrains account, and your comment made me think about trying Air before I go.

I went to my Jetbrains Toolbox, and it's not there.

I went to the site, and there are 3 options:

Install it as a plugin to one of their other IDEs. This feels really stupid to me.

Air Teams. This isn't widely available yet, and you have to ask nicely and be put on a list. No go.

Air CLI. I honestly don't know WTF this is doing that I couldn't just do from the CLI with my existing agents. I already have Antigravity (for planning) using Claude for implementation and all I had to do was ask Antigravity to set it up.

They really need to get their stuff together over there at Jetbrains.

		Don't forget about their AI Assistant (agentic but mostly chat focused plugin) and Junie (a harness, that you can apparently use through Air too), people have critiqued them about it being messy, but tbh OpenCode for example has TUI, web and desktop versions heh. Oh to make things more interesting, Air also has a mobile option too, adding to the list. Odd to couple it with an IDE though since you have various IDEs for various stacks (e.g. IntelliJ IDEA vs WebStorm vs GoLand, unless you just shove a crapload of plugins into IDEA) and agentic tools don't always need all of that. To be fair though, they're probably scrambling to keep up with the AI craze because it cuts into their margins A LOT and throwing everything they can at the wall. Shame they killed Fleet, could have been a cool basis to compete with Zed (or VS Code, more directly) and integrate Air there or something.
