Why Agentic Coding Needs Purpose-Built IDEs

Agentic development represents a fundamental shift in how code is written—one that existing IDE architectures weren't designed to support. Polypore demonstrates that effective agent-assisted coding requires a ground-up architecture where the agent is the primary actor, not an add-on feature. This modular, extensible approach allows the platform to keep pace with rapid evolution in agent models, CLIs, and orchestration patterns.
