BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Decide before you install.
Understand the category before choosing a setup for coding agents: what an agent development environment owns, and when an editor or your agent's own app is already enough.

Best IDE for AI Coding Agents in 2026: IDE, CLI, or ADE?
Choose by where your time goes. If you mostly write code with help, an AI-first editor wins. If you delegate one task at a time, your agent's own app is probably already enough. A separate workspace only earns its place when you run several different agent CLIs, more than one account, or more than one machine.
What Is an Agent Development Environment (ADE)?
An ADE owns the work around the agent: an isolated checkout for each task, a session you can leave and return to, a diff you can read and reply to, and a view of which agent is waiting for you. The agent itself reads your files and runs the commands.
