Ive never met an IDE that automatically fixes unbalanced parens/braces or that auto-indents or completes bookkeeping comments like labeling SQL param indexes or something, this is stuff I’d use some VIM movement sequences before in Intellij or VS Code but now I just raise an eyebrow, it seems to intuit what I want, and then I press tab a few times ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s kind of like how “learn to rank” used to eat the gains of all the specific optimizations Google used to do for search - before I used to use a bunch of plugins/workflows/explicit actions for a variety of text manipulation, now I just use tab; AI subsumed many of more specific or niche features.
