| | | | | | Cursor, which is a glorified fork of the VS Code IDE, is making developers wonder if this transition to building apps in natural language marks the end of traditional IDEs. Amit Raja Naik, your friendly AI Human, thinks otherwise. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was a recent surge of developers actively uninstalling VS Code because of Cursor IDEs. But it is easily possible for VS Code to just add an update of AI-assisted coding onto its platform, which would eventually mark the end of Cursor. Some also predict that Microsoft might simply end up acquiring Cursor in the future.
John Lindquist, the creator of egghead.io, said that he had a chat with Harald Kirschner, a project manager at VS Code, about Cursor and VS Code recently, and the team is keenly aware of Cursor’s capabilities and there might be several things in the pipeline. “I think we’ll all be pleasantly surprised,” he said.
Other IDEs, such as Jetbrains, PyCharm, and IDLE, also face a similar crisis as AI-generated coding gains traction.
Regardless, modern generative AI coding tools are capable of integrating several open-source LLMs instead of a traditional IDE like VS Code, making it handy for several AI developers. “You can select code and ask questions based on that piece of code. So you don’t have to keep switching between the IDE and browser,” explained a developer on X.
But it simply means that most of the IDEs in the future would come with generative AI integration. It would become the default for IDEs as it was for integrating no-code and low-code platforms. | | | | | | | All IDEs will soon be AI-assisted | | | | | Before talking about the end of IDEs, it is essential to understand what they stand for. With IDEs, developers have a standardised environment with a defined codebase for meeting specific requirements. This consistency of code cannot be fully controlled by an automated code generation platform like Cursor, or others.
On the contrary, future IDEs could take this further by generating larger chunks of code, or even entire modules, based on brief descriptions or prompts. The future of software development is likely to see AI-integrated IDEs becoming the norm. This would be helpful in analysing code in real-time and automatically correcting them.
Furthermore, with generative AI integrated into IDEs, these code editors would be able to suggest context-aware code, which is not just based on the syntax, and even optimise it. This would also enable a personalised developer style of coding, enabling natural language prompting with coding, much like Cursor and Claude.
AI-integrated IDEs will likely combine traditional development tools with generative coding, making software development more efficient, intuitive, and accessible while still providing the depth needed for complex projects. This would enable developers who know coding to take generative tools to the next level.
At the same time, it would be difficult to manage generative AI code if it is available within the IDEs as people still would be hesitant to trust generative AI for boilerplate code. Worse, it could also result in the loss of coding skills for some skilled developers.

I cannot believe how good the product is. You can ask it to build most little internal tools in minutes (at least, the UI) and customise further via code. Feels like a superpower for semi-technical people,” posted a user on X. Moreover, Claude, when put together with Cursor AI, has simplified the process of making apps. “So I’m building this box-office app in React Native and I thought I’d try Cursor with Claude 3.5 and see how far I’d get. The backend is django/psql that’s already in place,” said another user on X. “Starting from scratch, I have authenticated with my server to log in users, issue tickets, register tickets, scan ticket QR codes, and send email/sms confirmations,” he added. Claude is set to rapidly democratise app development, potentially eliminating the need for an App Store. It will enable anyone to build apps based on their specific needs, complete with personalised UI and UX.

Today, a number of startups are focused on building this technology, including the California-based Vayu Robotics, which is strategically accelerating autonomy. “If autonomy is ever to make it into the world and gain trust and credibility among the people, it has to start at a very safe spot. So, the biggest knob that we have to dial up is the safety, [by] reducing the mass and speed of the robot,” said Mahesh Krishnamurthi, the co-founder and chief product officer of Vayu Robotics, in an exclusive interaction with AIM.
