LLMs only "depend" on libraries because library usage is in their training set. Clearly they don't actually need to use libraries.

Using a library keeps the context window smaller than writing it all yourself. I also suspect the whole vibe-coding thing works best when most of the total running code is NOT vibe-coded, and follows carefully defined behavior the fast-and-loose parts can build on top of.

Otherwise, why bother to run your vibe-coded website on nginx? Just have the LLM spit out its own novel web server, its own novel TCP stack, its own novel OS for that matter.

Why bother indeed!

IDEs were good tools for humans to write code in, but are no longer needed.

They aren’t mutually exclusive. No reason you can’t use both and get the best of both worlds.

Also, future IDEs will have prompts and interfaces to better manage the LLM.

Likely not true, considering your chat interface is an IDE.
