I’ve been saying Claude Code feels more like an OS. There is a lot of power with an agent living in the OS and filesystem - vs bound by abstraction in the IDE.
I think this represents the next evolution of general office tooling (prev dominated by MSFT); which is why OAI bought Windsurf.
The future really isn’t about interacting with “agents” so much as it is “intelligent infrastructure.” Skillsets will be emphasized through planning and orchestrating these systems—Wands vs keyboards.
