I left tmux+vscode a few months ago and haven’t looked back. Clearly this new thing is better than flipping between a dozen tmux panes and other windows.
But I’m using my own “IDE” inspired by herdr and pane, worktrees down the left and panes on the right, but besides terminals the types of panes also include:
- A native Obsidian-level markdown editor with support for comments that agents can see
- Claude code with chrome for context size, and a custom UI that looks more like the web
- A diff viewer with support for comments
- A browser
- Can tag worktrees with PRs and issues
- Everything (except the browser) works seamlessly over ssh
It’s all zig+gtk, all vibe coded. I rarely open vscode these days.
Maybe the herdr plugin ecosystem can support all this too. I kinda want to get out of the business of hand-polishing UI.
