Using the terminal and other things like lazygit is currently limiting and doesn’t really make sense.
I think we will go back to IDEs as AI improves vastly (think cheaper and better computer use models) and we will stop using and shoving everything into terminals all the time.
It just feels so wrong.
The terminal (or, honestly, multiple terminal sessions) is a much better solution for me.
These days, something like the GPT/Claude desktop apps are pretty good, where the interaction with agents is front-and-center, but IDE-like UIs can appear when necessary.
I feel like the ultimate IDE is WYSIWYG and visual, while allowing arbitary natural language edits, plus some affordances to view the underlying code artifacts when necessary.
You've reached the end!
