LLM coding assistants will probably be browser first like replit rather than desktop first like cursor in the long term

every prompt + output will be hosted for sharing across devices/mobile and with team members/outsiders. Code editors on computers are inherently local first + not uploaded by default, whereas browser based code spaces are hosted/deployed first + automatically.

There may be desktop native apps for LLMs that do this, but vscode interface with this behaviour may feel kinda weird + also makes it much less accessible to non devs.

Really?  I feel like full-OS LLMs make sense to me.  For any text input

I gave cursor to my gf (she's not technical) and she wrote tg bot for her work - a simple leaderboard to grant and spend employees points.

The only thing with cursor is that it reads all the .envs and I don't wanna share my deployment pk

very much depends, local first is definitely moving with WASM and the ability to use small LLMs directly in the browser. other than that, you can already run VS Code with AI extensions in tthe browser (or IDX by google, but sucks still)
