Ide

I recently stripped down my local setup and ditched vscode. I just don't need it anymore, and I'm noticing a lot of my coworkers doing the same. IDEs optimize for a problem that barely exists now. We used to spend hours configuring plugins and debuggers to coding flow, but AI breaks that completely. The bottleneck is no longer coding flow or navigation, it's reading agent output, designing framework for agents to use. My day-to-day shifted from authoring code to auditing it, yet IDEs are still designed mostly for coding, not higher-level management tasks. That's why I am just using emacs now. Others on my team moved to vim + terminal. It's just more practical. Are you stripping down your workflows too? What does IDEs have to do to evolve?
