- workspace agent runner apps (like Conductor) get more and more obsolete
- "vibe working" is becoming a thing - people use folder based agents to do their work (not just coding)
- new workflows seem to be evolving into folder based workspaces, where agents can self-configure MCP servers and skills + memory files and instructions
kinda interested to see if openai has the ideas & shipping power to compete with anthropic going forward; anthropic does not only have an edge over openai because of how op their models are at coding, but also because they innovate on workflows and ai tooling standards; openai so far has only followed in adoption (mcp, skills, now codex desktop) but rarely pushed the SOTA themselves.
MacOS is unix under the hood so the models can just use bash and cli tools easily instead of dealing with WSL or Powershell.
MacOS has built-in sandboxing at a better level than Windows (afaik the Codex App is delayed for Windows due to sandboxing complexities)
Also the vast majority of devs use MacBooks unless they work for Microsoft or are in a company where the vast majority of employees are locked to Windows for some reason (usually software related).
