My VS Code has a terminal and can remote into any machine and edit code / terminal there.
What I don't get is going back to terminal first approaches and why so many companies are putting these out (except that it is probably (1) easy to build (2) everyone is doing it hype cycle). It was similar when everyone was building ChatGPT functions or whatever before MCP came out. I expect the TUI cycle will fade as quickly as it rose
I think a fairly large number of people using IDEs use them for the writing code coding part almost exclusively, e.g. don't use many/any of the other "integrated" features like VCS integration, build integration, etc. As an example, I think most people I've seen use vscode still use git via the cli (less sure but I'd guess most of them use a separate terminal even).
I don't know for sure or have anything besides anecdotal evidence but I'd wager this is a majority of vscode users.
