Did you say this 20 years ago?

Or perhaps ‘IDE’ is not the correct term. [Cursor] is part of a new line of developer environments that are much faster because they are modular. They consist of a text editor portion and a ‘language server’ portion. The language server is like a server meaning it runs asynchronously. It does not block the text editor so the text editor can run lightning quick. So perhaps these should be called ‘modular development environments’ or MDEs.

Because a modular IDE is not at all a new idea. This is basically what eclipse did 20 years ago. Some would argue that vim is the og “modular development environment”
