I know I'm in the minority on this one but I'm not a fan of #cli 's. I don't know if it's because I started out when CLI's were the only option and I've been there done that. But I like #gui 's I like clicking things with my mouse and maki…
I use #vscode a lot now because I find it has a better AI integration than Visual Studio.
Although the other day I tried to rename an AI chat session and it was obliterated instead of given a new name.
