Interesting thoughts - thank you! And directionally agree - given that agents are becoming ever better, they'll take more and more of the orchestration on themselves. Still, we believe that developers need an interface to interact with these agents; see their status and review / test their work. Emdash is our approach for building this interface of the future - the ADE :)

CLIs like claude code equally improve over time. tmux helps running remote sessions like there were local.

Why should we invest long time into your „ADE“, really?

> see their status and review / test their work

Won’t that be addressed eventually by the CLIs themselves?

Maybe you’re betting on being purchased by one of the agentic coding providers given your tool has long term value on its own?

People use UIs for git despite it working so well in the terminal... Many people I knew at uni doing computer science wouldn’t even know what tmux is. I would bet that the demand for these types of UIs is going to be a lot bigger than the demand for CLI tools like Claude Code. People already rave about cowork and the new codex UI. This falls into the same category.
