IDEs are for professionals. I understand that LLMs can one shot a weather app, and I get that it's exciting, but this is not the case with complex software.

I agree with you in principle but I am seeing my colleague who supposedly is an experienced engineer just sends out 40-file PRs without going through the code. When someone asked why the code does a certain thing he used LLM to come up with an answer. Apparently he has no idea what the code is doing and I doubt he reviews any of it or cares.
