vim (neovim these days) for me is my text editor I use to look at code when dealing with AI, more often than not I'm working on a bug list as I test things. I haven't opened my IDE (Jetbrains tools) for nearly 2 weeks now. Only thing I often want is to be able to run sql queries, I used datagrip for that... Now I'm writing my own tui sql tool that is lightning quick and has most of the features I like from data grip, plus a bunch of new things that make my life easier. I've made it work as a MCP server also so that I can get my agent to directly inject queries and I can browse the result sets easily. I feel like the terminal, because its text based and super great at manipulating text is such a perfect match for these AI agents. But, yes, the need for code editing itself is really limited.
