I have a similar impression. I think it's because the workflow isn't fully refined, and the IDE interfaces don't match that undefined flow. These are strange times; for a moment, I felt Antigravity was what I needed, but it was just a stripped-down VSCode. I simply don't understand the new VSCode Agents window. The impact is so vast that many of us are returning to the simplicity and power of the terminal.
The future of VSCode is quite uncertain, as newer "IDEs" are moving-on toward not seeing any code, and soon not even seeing the filetree as we are going toward the path of full automation.
VSCode might retain old-school developers but it will keep shrinking.

I kinda got this feeling when I saw that button in the upper right corner, clicking it transforms VSCode from a code editor to a Claude/Codex clone.
