The first point about death of IDEs hit me hard b/c this is why I even started building my own Terminal App, as a base, and move counter-intuitively into the IDE space.
I wanted a Terminal that was customizable, fast, and not AI-native like the many iterations before it but I'm needing feature that IDEs have, like file browser and viewer, etc. Consequently, the IDE isn't dead IMHO — it's just moved down the line a bit as not the most important feature but a key feature on top of a best-in-class Terminal.
This swap is mind-blowing when you first think about it but it now makes more sense than ever.
