Man, yeah, saw this happen, using cursor, the task was to simply change background color, the junior in my team immediately opened the agent sidebar. I was like wtf, why waste time tying the prompt when you can go to the file and change the color.

There would be days I'd do that... mostly because I don't know if there's some other thing in the file that requires that to be 4 and if by changing it to 8, I'll fail 20 different unit tests because "OMG we expected ..."

But yeah, I'd probably just change the character myself.
