What boggles my mind is. I've been using OpenCode [1] which had this future for at least 6 months. I sometimes baffled by the slow progress of closed source software. Also highly recommend OpenCode you can also use it with your Claude subscription or Copilot one. [1]: https://opencode.ai/

You can move quite fast when you don't have to spend half a week persuading 7 stakeholders that something is worth doing, then spend a week arguing about sprint capacity and roadmap disruptions.

They are trying now to create an agent-first IDE. I think they are too big to move on this. https://blog.jetbrains.com/fleet/2025/12/the-future-of-fleet...

They just announced the end of their fleet editor

Yeah, and that they are pivoting it to an agent first editor.

Actually currently I'm using augment, it's good, but still subpar when compared to old supervmaven or cursor. One thing that I'm really missing is the automatic cursor move.

Interesting, I have completely stopped using the editor at this point and do everything through the agent except reading diffs.

I have running subscriptions with both claude and codex. They are good but, at least for me, don't fully replace the coding part. Plus I tend to lose focus because of basically random response time.

When you become complacent and your ego isn’t checked, you think you have the hottest thing. Hubris is hard. They had a pretty big moat that they let vscode eat away at. I don’t think they saw any of this coming and are struggling to make sense of it.

>Over time, we learned that having two general-purpose IDE families created confusion and diluted our focus.

And not the dozens of others you have? Do you not consider them also separate families?

Yeah, they completely didn’t see any of this coming.

I am super bullish on claude code / codex cli + LSP and other deterministic codemod and code intelligence tools. I was playing around with codex this weekend and honestly having a great time (my opinion of it has 180'd since gpt-5.2(-codex) came out) but I was getting annoyed at it because it kept missing references when I asked it to rename or move symbols. So I built a skill that teaches it to use rope for mechanic…

Are you having a positive experience with Codex compared to Claude Code? Codex in my brief experience was... not good w/ 5.1

It goes like this:

Codex is an outsourcing company, you give specs, they give you results. No communication in between. It's very good at larger analysis tasks (code coverage, health etc). Whatever it does, it does it sloooowwwllyyy.

Claude is like a pair programmer, you can follow what it's doing, interrupt and redirect it if it starts going off track. It's very much geared towards "get it done" rather than maximum code quality.

Is there a way to automatically run tests every file change, like post tool somehow, so that it returns a concise test run back to the LLM every tool use? That seems like it would be useful.

Yes, you can do this with hooks: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks

Back when I was using CC, I had a "mandatory" development workflow that checks if the corresponding test file exists for the changed file, runs tests and runs the test coverage tool for the changed file.

It's strangely difficult to find official information about this, but here's what I've learned: • Use `/plugin` to open Claude Code's plug-in manager • In the Discover tab, enter `lsp` in the search box • Use `spacebar` to enable the ones you want, then `i` to install Hope that helps!

I am on the latest version of Claude Code and nothing comes up when I follow this and search for "mcp". Looks like this feature is quite undercooked at the moment. I'm hoping for a more straightforward way to enable this and ensure the LSP is being used by Claude in the future.

Perhaps because you are searching for "mcp" and not "lsp"?

Interesting to see that you work at OpenAI but had to build a skill like this yourself. Surprised that you don't have internal tools or skills that could do this already! Shows how much more work there is still to be done in this space.

> Shows how much more work there is still to be done in this space. This is why I roll my eyes every time I read doomer content that mentions an AI bubble followed by an AI winter. Even if (and objectively there's 0 chance of this happening anytime soon) everyone stops developing models tomorrow , we'll still have 5+ years of finding out how to extract every bit of value from the current models.

One thing though, if the slowdown is too abrupt, it might forbid openai, anthropic etc to keep financially running datacenters for us to use.

They already kinda did. They brough ACP support which allows you to somewhat integrate Claude Code, Gemini CLI or OpenCode they also recently brought BYOK support so you can use an existing provider and don't pay extra subscription for it.

ACP seems super under the radar. It has some support, but it got merged into A2A, which I don't hear anyone talking about, so it seems like it's going to die on the vine.

I'm not sure this is true, do you have a source? Maybe conflating this with the recent Agentic AI Foundation & MCP news?
