I definitely think that a distinct mode is needed though, the inverse of attaching a keyboard to an iPad to make it more desktop-y.
Edit: I'm missing some context others have pointed out.

These aren't hypothetical, and in the hands of non-technical users let alone technical users, they have are far too unpredictable.
I think a much better use case is one where it's not visible to the user at all, like spam filtering or helping an accountant do their monthly run in a few hours rather than a day. To me, that's likely a much better use of AI than trying to shove a chat interface or agent harness into an existing app.
That being said though, I did see a startup in my area basically offering a Resend/Mailchimp competitor as a Claude plugin, so maybe it'll just be integrations to their existing chat interface.
Deno's ability to run TypeScript files - stripping types - was arguably implemented in Node because of Deno. The consolidated tooling approach was a good attempt at solving tooling fragmentation that Node suffers from.
I think for Deno to succeed, it would've had to have been under a non-profit and maybe that can still happen.
