Make Kiro a VSCode Extension

[jpenniman]

Feature Description

Using yet another IDE is not productive. It would be best if Kiro were a VSCode extension so it can be used in Microsoft's build with all of Microsoft's tooling around .Net. A lot of your current feature requests would be taken care of if you took this route. VScode already does everything everyone is asking for.

Ideally, Rider and Visual Studio as well, but I would settle for just VScode to start.

Use Case

Developing anything in .Net or using things like devcontainers or any other of the features that are missing from Kiro as an IDE.

Additional Context

I am interessted also by this feature.

It is not only about .net but there are lots of modules not available for Kiro Code. Kiro Code also doesn't supports WSL2. (I need to run kiro-cli in WSL2, not integrated in the IDE).

Instead of reinventing the wheel with a new IDE it should just be part of the VSCode ecosystem.

I use Amazon Q Developer Pro at work and I love it. I tried to get the same setup on my personal computer using VSCode and the Amazon Q extension but couldn't get it working because all of the links for upgrading the Amazon Q Free tier to Developer Pro just link to kiro.dev now.

Super frustrating. If you are forcing me to use a different editor in order to use your service - you've lost a customer (and I'm sure many many others).

Ditto. If Kiro can't give me the same experience (as a vscode extension) then I will be switching to claude when support ends. My IDE must remain open source.
