The future is in AI. An IDE without AI integration is no longer a marketable product.

People are not going to stop using AI no matter what your concerns or feelings are.

I was a big IDE user since they existed (I used Visual C++ beta releases in 1992). However, since adopting AI tools I really haven't used an IDE. Once in a while for things I don't know how to do without one (e.g. view a markdown file locally). That's it though.

I use IntelliJ without any AI and then Claude runs in Ghostty tabs. I find this quite optimal.
