alt Hacker NewsConsider giving Cursor a try. I personally like the entire UI/UX, their agent has good context, and the entire experience overall is just great. The team has done a phenomenal job. Your workflow could look something like this:
1. Prompt the agent
2. The agent gets too work
3. Review the changes
4. Repeat
This can speed up your process significantly, and the UI clearly shows the changes + some other cool features
EDIT: from reading your post again, I think you could benefit primarily from a clear UI with the adjusted code, which Cursor does very well.
