Maybe it's my ADHD, but I cannot for the life of me stand using an IDE. There's too many distractions - popups, suggestions, underlines, warnings, and a million different buttons cluttering up your screen. That along with an AI assistant would make my head explode.

All these things that supposedly "help" us code end up limiting us in severe ways because we aren't forced to think anymore. Typing, syntax checking, and recalling function definitions isn't the bottleneck to programming. If they are, maybe you're not programming.
