Terminal or editor-first UI? How do you prefer to work with AI coding agents?

Hey everyone! Just shipped v0.10.17 here's what's new:

- Boards New /boards slash command with node types, collapsible groups, and node notes

- Terminal Drag-to-Split Drag to split and unsplit terminal tabs

- Dark Mode & Themes Refined surface system and improved colors

Warp Code just launched. With it, you get:

• Top-rated coding agent: #1 on Terminal-bench (52%) and top three on SWE-bench Verified (75.8%, scored with GPT-5) as of Sep 2nd 2025. We built the UI from the ground up to be the best experience for agentic coding.

• Code review: Review open changes, ask for modifications, and line-edit code diffs in a dedicated panel

• Code editing: A lightweight file viewing and editing experience in Warp with tabbed file viewing, a file tree, and syntax highlighting

• Projects in Warp: Initialize projects with their own WARP.md files (compatible with Agents.MD, Claude.MD and cursor rules). You can also define agent profiles to launch agents with different default settings, and global slash commands.

I used it for a year or two, but eventually went back to iTerm because I found the UX to be over-complicated and slowed me down. (Also, I'm a dinosaur with too much muscle memory to overcome...) But the AI features were interesting, so I'm curious what ya'll see as alternatives, or if you think I should give it another shot.

AI coding tools seem to come in two main flavors: IDE-based, like @Cursor and @GitHub Copilot, and terminal-based setups, like using @Claude Code to generate commands, scripts, or entire files. Both have their fans, but which one actually helps you move faster?

Curious what flow people are sticking with long term, and where you see the most gains (or frustrations).

I've been primarily using @Cursor as I like how it operates, enjoy that it's visual, and I am getting very comfortable with using it and being able to easily select different code bits and modify what I need....however....
I recently started using Gemini CLI in @Warp and I must say... I'm kinda liking it. I feel that it's able to do a lot more, faster without needing me to jump in. When I do jump in, it's simply to provide it guidence and direction.
I haven't done much with it yet, but I can see myslef now doing a combination of CLI and IDE development. I'm curious what everyone elses experience is! Or if you haven't used a CLI or IDE AI tool, why?
A bit of additional background, I'm not a develpoer but more of a "vibe coder" I can kinda understand different languages and don't mind diving into tech docs but I prefer AI do more of the coding than me :)

Hi Product Hunt!!

Hi Product Hunt!!

I'm Zach the CEO of @Warp , the first Agentic Development Environment (ADE)..

There are tons of great coding agent CLIs and IDEs out there. Which do you use on a regular basis? What stands out as being the killer feature?

Meow, world!

I really enjoyed reading The Breakpoint, Product Hunt's weekly, developer-focused newsletter, and wanted to relaunch it as a token of appreciation to the community.

Hey Product Hunt

Dave here I lead design at Warp, and today our team is thrilled to debut Warp 2.0, the first Agentic Development Environment (ADE). We just achieved a 71% SWE-bench score and ranked #1 on terminal-bench, making Warp the most powerful coding agent in the world. Check us out on the leaderboard for more details!

I was recently reminded of @Dockhunt and how fun it was to see what kinds of apps different folks kept in their dock. I remember it being a cool way to discover some new products I hadn't seen before. I'm also just a big fan of desktop apps over web apps. I find it a lot easier to stay focused when I'm flipping between apps vs flipping between tabs.

These are the apps in my dock:

• @Google Chrome - Pretty basic. I've really been considering switching over to @Horse though.

• @Slack - The de facto option.

• @Superhuman - Maybe the fastest I've become a fan of a product. I think I was pushing it on others within a few hours.

• @Notion - Great for documentation and collaborating. I also use it personally for tracking books I read and video games I play, along with tracking personal projects.

• Notion Calendar - The menu bar aspect of this is really what sold me. It makes it so much easier to stay on top of my meetings every day.

• @Linear - We just recently switched over to Linear here at @Product Hunt and I've been loving it. Pro tip: if you prefer the desktop app, there's a setting to open links in the app, but you can only set that option through the web version.

• @iTerm2 - I've tried others, but this is my favorite. This + @Neovim is just

• @Claude by Anthropic - This has been my LLM of choice for a while, and I really like having it as a desktop app. Especially the keyboard shortcut to quickly bring it up and ask something.

• @Tandem - Super easy to stay in touch and sync with teammates. Incredibly useful for a remote team.

• @Spotify - I typically have a YouTube video on in the background, but if I'm writing or doing something more focused, I'll typically have some kind of Jazz going.

What AI Dictation Tools Actually Are

What AI Dictation Tools Actually Are

Hey Product Hunt!

I'm Aloke, Engineer #1 at Warp and lead eng on Warp's new coding features.

We're all in on agentic coding at Warp, but we also recognize that even the best agents need some human guidance. We just launched a suite of new features to help you closely iterate with agents code review panel, file editor, file tree, slash commands, WARP.md (or use your existing agent.md file).

Awesome progress!

Today, Warp is the #1 overall coding agent on benchmarks like Terminal-Bench (20% ahead of Claude Code) and top 5 on SWE-bench Verified (71%). We ve been blown away by the reception post-launch: from press outlets (TechCrunch, Fast Company, New Stack), to product adoption, and real-user feedback.

More product updates too:

I have been a big fan of @Aqua Voice but do need something local for the times I don't have internet or am traveling. So I wanted to give @OpenWispr a try but didn't really want to go through the whole setup for it... so I gave @Claude for Desktopaccess to my files and computer and... it basically instantly installed the whole thing and got it working!
Then I asked it to package for me as a Mac app (.app) and what do you know... it did! Was honestly kind of amazing. There was one issue that I had to keep troubleshooting and that's sometimes Claude would reference the wrong environment or file... it could figure it out, but just something to pay attention too.

So now you can vibecode and quickly iterate on Open Source software using Claude Desktop, @Cursor, and @Warp. Use Claude to set it up, Cursor to iterate and build, then Warp to polish and debug.

Have there been any Open Source software that has scared you away but you might try install with this method?

I might be missing some but I've been pretty much in love with @Lovable, @Cursor, @bolt.new and have been trying to use @Replit more and I honestly haven't touched @BASE44 too much but have heard good things. @chrismessina has nudged me to use @Windsurf for whenever I build another Raycast Extension!
Currently I use:
- @bolt.new / @Lovable
- @Cursor
- @Warp
Curious what everyone thinks is the top one so far!
