## Abstract (arXiv)

Let's imagine that in a few years generative AI has changed software development dramatically, taking charge of most of the programming tasks. Let's also assume that extended reality devices became ubiquitous, being the preferred interface for interacting with computers. This paper proposes how this situation would impact IDEs, by exploring how the development process would be affected, and analyzing which tools would be needed for supporting developers.
