To be clear: having a diversity of tools is a good thing! I like having options.

My complaint is more that right now it feels like everybody is rushing to fill the exact same space with the exact same feature sets.

It's resulting in a lot of superficial diversity that's functionally homogenous. I want to see more applications that are pushing the capabilities of current AI tooling in creative directions.

If you don't care about bleeding edge, most of these will fall to the wayside and a few superior options will win out.

Otherwise, you're going to see the variations on the same thing over and over, which is totally fine, and where innovation comes from.

Personally, I just use stock VS Code (copilot) and Cursor.
