August 19, 2024 -
I'm trying to decide between Cursor and VS Code as my main code editor. I know both have good integration with LLMs, but I'm curious about other factors. What are some pros and cons you've experienced with each? I'd love to hear about performance, UI/UX, extensions, and any other key differences.

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.
