Anyone tried their extension? Is it better than Cursor?

  I found it tricky to set up and use, personally. My current ranking would be Cursor > Continue > Codium (haven't yet tried Copilot). Codium seems to specialize in enterprise right now (where someone might be told to not use Cursor).

    There's Cody too.

    For me, Copilot degraded over time. It started like magic. But they were losing money pretty fast and my impression is they had to dumb it down. I wish I could pay more for the old Copilot. Aider is the best of them all, but I spend too much money... Like, I can easily spend $10, $20 in a day. Which is still a great deal for the added productivity it gives me, but it's $200-$400/mo, which is salty. Cursor didn't impress me.

  They must be pretty good if they think they can charge $20 for an API wrapper. That's how much it used to cost to get GPT-4 back when everyone else was showing off half coherent models.

    It's much more than an API wrapper. They built a bunch of custom smaller models like tab auto completion, applying changes from foundation models, indexing all your code and performing RAG etc. All of this is abstracted away from the user in an easy to use UX.
