Dan talks abouto how the IDE/editor space is shifting fast thanks to AI/agentic dev. VS Code (and its open-ish Monaco/Electron base) has spawned a bunch of forks like Cursor, Windsurf, etc., but those forks can get messy: licensing limits on certain Microsoft extensions, plugin compatibility drift, and breakages (like Prettier/ESM issues) as the fork falls out of sync with upstream.
