VSCode forks are not new, there are many companies out there building towards this vision. What sets us apart is partly our philosophy (deeply integrating into the editor) and also the tech stack (running everything to the dot locally) and giving developers control over the LLM usage and also other niceness (like rollbacks which I think are paramount and important)

    Because without the sorry the comment may be interpreted in an aggressive/dismissive tone. For this issue, adding a sorry is an easy fix.

    Can be a cultural idiomatic thing. For me (BrEng) "I'm sorry but..." doesn't explicitly mean "I regret/apologise for what I'm about to say" - in fact it's an intensifier.

      It can definitely be used that way in American English as well, though maybe less common?

      Yeah I am with you on this one, for me, it worsens the statement even more. Maybe because I've heard people use it in a way to be passive-aggressive.

  Fair point! We are not taking a stab at cursor in any way (its a great product) In terms of features I do believe we are differentiated enough, the workflows we came up with are different and we are all about giving back the data (prompt+responses) back to the user. The sidecar is not the killer feature, its one of the many thing which ticks the whole experience together. Good callout on the codestoryai account being suspended, we are at @aide_dev
