This product is going to be obsolete with the rise of terminal-based agents like Claude Code and Codex. Why would I abandon my entire workflow and toolset to use a fork of VSCode? Especially one that Microsoft will likely make increasingly difficult to maintain.
Developers use Vim, JetBrains, Emacs, VSCode, and many other tools—what makes you think they’ll switch to your fork?

You can’t honestly say you don’t fear death until you face it directly. Tell someone they’ll be executed tomorrow, then ask if they fear death, some people lose their minds when told they’re terminally ill. It’s not as simple as just saying, “I don’t fear death.”
“AI is misleading, there’s no actual intelligence.”
Oh wow, you figured out “Artificial Intelligence” isn’t literal. You should tell the rest of the planet. Maybe we should rename it “Statistical Pattern Prediction Machines That Are Better at Your Job Than You Are.” It’s a mouthful, but more honest.
Ah, yes, the classic “this thing I don’t like is medieval alchemy” comparison. Because if you can’t refute the tools, just compare it to snake oil. It’s cute how this guy thinks he’s the only one who’s noticed not every AI startup is curing cancer. The tech world has always had grifters. That doesn’t mean the tools themselves are fake—it means some people are dumb and others are greedy, which is kind of how humanity works.
Congratulations on identifying marketing exists. What’s next? You gonna blow the whistle on toothpaste commercials? Of course hype is driven by profit. That’s literally the point of business. But you know what else was hyped once? The internet. And electricity. And antibiotics. Being annoyed that people are excited about tech is not a worldview—it's a vibe. A really boring one.
"Another thing often missed by other frameworks are dedicated devtools"
From my experience, PydanticAI really nailed it with Logfire—debugging[0] agents was significantly easier and more effective compared to the other frameworks and libraries I tested.
Not all clients support that—currently limited to ChatGPT custom GPT actions. It’s not a standard. Fortunately, Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI have agreed to adopt MCP as a shared protocol to enable models to use tools. This protocol mainly exists to simplify things for those building LLM-powered clients like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc. If you want an LLM (through API calls) to interact with an your API, you can’t just hand it an API key and expect it to work—you need to build an Agent for that.
MCP allows LLM clients you don’t control—like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or VSCode—to interact with your API. Without it, you’d need to build your own custom client using the LLM API, which is far more expensive than just using existing clients like ChatGPT or Claude with a $20 subscription and teaching them how to use your tools.
Did something similar but controls a hardware synth, allowing me to do sound design without touching the physical knobs: https://github.com/zerubeus/elektron-mcp
