I think IDE-based tools like Cursor, VS Code, etc, will win out in the long term, especially as the younger generation grows up.
In the short term though, I think CLI-based tools like Claude Code are taking off because hardcore developers see them as the last "vestige" they have in separating themselves from the "noobs." They know there's still a good portion of the public who don't know how to use the terminal, install packages, or even know what Linux is.
I think what is going to win is a tool independent to your ide to run your agents, it could be a cli or a gui.
You dreaming. The ui is gonna be like google for code. A voice chat and an instruction/search bar that is it. The model is the product
