These new editors are trying to differentiate themselves via their AI features. Working on the core editor may waste resources that could have been better spent improving the AI features.

Until someone finally figures out that we need to rethink editors from the ground up to support different sort of operations and editing experience, to better facilitate LLMs doing work as agents.

But we're probably 1-2 years away from there still, so we'll live with skinned-forks, VSCode extensions and TUIs for now.

Antigravity's agent manager tries do to that. For example, it has an inbox for agent updates and requests for user decisions.

Antigravity is build on top of VSCode, I meant something completely different, not just a "feature" of something else.

It's actually weird to me how none of the big players put their money where their mouth is and vibe coded a new IDE built from the ground up for this paradigm shift regardless of tech stack.
