I mean cursor is just a vscode clone with their own copilot thing built in. Problem with it - it's a tiny startup. If they fail, you're not getting updates. If they're slow to integrate vscode upstream, you're not getting updates, etc. That said it's very easy to switch back to vscode since cursor is vscode. I used it for a hot second and just felt pretty "meh". I feel pretty meh about all the AI coding tools to be fair. More on reddit.com

What I'm hoping for is something that can keep your solution in an active context (I guess cursor does this) but which when asking a question it can propose let say 3 solutions simultaneously in a new tab/UI which can include changesets to multiple files simultaneously (possibly multiple from the same LLM or comparing cross LLM), you can view each one side by side in a compare window against current code, then you can either say none fit with feedback on why and it will generate 3 new options, or you can select one and provide additional information to refine the answer before accepting, or accept it which will perform all changes to the files. This would basically move the software developer into a role of specifying requirements and code review/approval. More on reddit.com

There are SO MANY of these copilot-like tools I honestly gave up trying them. I’m sticking to copilot simply because it’s what I was already using and when a lot of people will all start talking about one of these tools I’ll try it and possibly jump ship. I want something that can learn my whole repo but everything I’ve tried so far seems to fail at some point :( More on reddit.com

I use GPT-4 to do it all. Then copy and paste using VSC. It’s awesomeness. I’m crushing it. Stack Unbuntu, nginx config files, python, javascript, openai api, lots of css, postgres, and all the CLI stuff for managing web servers. More on reddit.com
