Claude in a terminal is becoming more and more my IDE. I use emacs to do some edits or to look at some files, but orders of magnitude less than when I wrote all the code.
Syntax highlighting? Yes, for readability. Completion? I noticed today that maybe I broke the language server for Ruby but I didn't bother to investigate. Maybe next week, or next month.
Git log, blame, diff, yes, as usual.
I don't see a bright future for IDEs. Vi or emacs from the 90s could be all we need.
Non developers using AIs to vibe code their projects maybe won't need any editor at all, nor an IDE.
