Ask HN: Are new AI code editors adding superficial value?

Specifically referring to Cursor and Melt. It seems to be the rage among the bay area AI community but they're basically just VS Code skins. Im pretty happy with VS Code both features-wise and UX, but I think now is the golden opportunity to fundamentally rethink the craft & work of human coding and build a new UI/App from scratch. Including NOT building on Electron..
