No, they should be LSPs so that they can be integrated into any editor, not just VSCode.

They should do this, but this is not the entirety of what they do.

LSP is amazing but also kinda sucks balls. It’s impossible to run VSCode without a million pops in the corner with a million extension errors. It’s so bad.

And autocomplete is the least interesting thing an LLM can do. Cursor’s UX isn’t the end game but has lots great features.

The ideal UX is still being worked out. It’s good that different people are building tools to try different ideas.

>>silver+(OP)
Microsoft has been dragging their feet when it comes to updating the LSP spec. Many of their Copilot features are done in VSCode, in fact using private APIs that are not accessible to other extensions.

I am all for everyone adopting LSP, but the reality is harsh.
