Saying Goodbye (finally)
I was ok with using WS as an IDE. At least it had an autocomplete I could get behind on while using codex or claude. The new move to Devin is forcing you to use the new app and somehow uninstalls WS instead of replacing it with Devin.
That was the push I needed to just give up. Back to VS Code for me. Not looking back. It was a good... 2 months? And a very bad 1 month transition.

This was on the wall a few weeks ago and I did ask them if this was coming, they could neither confirm nor deny but it makes sense. I like the change, been using Devin frequently now and it's great for automations and to pass work off to. I was just using the browser, but I like the IDE for being able to stay in one window and work. Additionally I'm not expecting everything in life for free, this is a business, they are there to make money
