I guess vibe coding has made a huge change - like a few years we didn't see any such app which was used commercially but have been changed. In future we'd see more apps - being light weight and fast makes life so much easier :-)

I use herdr a lot

If anything, with things like libghostty, I expect more desktop apps with built in terminals. Instead of me having to go to the browser for github, jira, etc, have it all in one app along with whatever terminal tooling you're using

Or more likely, based on what the other engineers I work with are doing, we will all vibecode our own tooling that fit our individual workflow

I think we're going to see a lot more apps in the terminals soon. The primary user of software is no longer human anyway.

Definitely a good place to build in.

As an older developer (50+) I tend to use terminal apps for my workflow: vim, ssh, git, scripts for building, and now Claude code. There are gui and web interfaces for all of this. The junior developers on my team are not comfortable with terminal apps. I spend my day in vim and zsh, but the world has moved on. On we go, up the ladder of abstraction.
