Agentic coding deserves more than a chat box bolted onto VS Code

This might be one of the strangest product video editing decisions I've seen.

Yeah, it has me wondering why this project is trying to entertain me with a video.

Has there ever been an IDE demo video with better music?
tomjakubowski [3 hidden]5 mins ago
Yes, the intro to Erlang: The Movie. (if you squint, Erlang/OTP itself is an IDE) https://youtu.be/xrIjfIjssLE

Is this just a vibe-coded IDE? The tagline "Modular IDE designed for agentic coding" and description don't really summarize what this does differently, and I'm not looking at a video to figure that out.

The video seems to be about mushrooms.

Like with most full products that are vibecoded, there's very little to no originality in this - just strange packaging of things that already exist.

Repackaging of existing concepts is kind of just what a lot of new tech products are, right?
ASalazarMX [3 hidden]5 mins ago
But the ones that repackage as part of improvement are the ones that usually stick. Repackaging as a lesser product only works if your brand strength is being cheap.

no argument there.

if someone would give me 60bn to put a chatbox in vscode I would happily do it

So the defaults are Codex and Claude? I use neither.

So, Antigravity 2.0 then?

Cursor 3 as well.

Antigravity 2.0 looks exactly like codexia (as of 0.26, I forked it)

It would appear that the author of this posted a big pile of AI slop describing project and was heavily downvoted.

Am I the only one who is getting tired of all the AI stuff in VS Code? I just want to open my ide and not be greeted by a dozen AI prompts begging to have it code something for me.

Its such a distraction. I want less of this stuff not more of it.
