I'm opening VSCode less and less every day

I've been a dev for close to 9 years now, always spending my time inside VSCode.

When the AI extension came in, I started writing less code, reading more.

When Claude Desktop app came in, I did not like it, stuck with the VSCode extension.

Then the app got better, and the extension got worse. so I switched my focus to that instead of the code editor.

I now view the diffs in the Claude app instead of VSCode, and only switch to VSCode for a more thorough review.

Now VSCode ships with a new view, similar to that of Claude.

I rarely open VSCode now. I rarely write code now.

I miss writing code.
