Been using Cursor since launch. Really frustrating how they charge per message (500/mo) instead of by token usage. Like, why should a one-line code suggestion cost the same as refactoring an entire class? Plus it's been losing context lately and making rookie mistakes.
Tried Zed AI but couldn't get into it - just doesn't feel as smooth as Cursor used to. GitHub Copilot is even worse. Feels like they're so obsessed with keeping that $10/month price point that they've gutted everything. Context window is tiny and the responses are barebones.
- DeathArrow 2y agoYou can try Cline and Aider.
- tekacs 2y agoI used Cursor for many months, but found that I couldn't deal with how slow and workflow-interrupting VSCode feels, so I went back to Zed. I tried out and abandoned Zed AI, but I've found that Zed + aider is a really excellent setup – for me, at least. For smaller things, Zed's inline Copilot setup works (nowadays) just as well as Cursor's and for things that are even a little bigger than tiny, I pull up aider and prompt the change the exact same way that I did with Cursor's Composer before. I'm an odd choice because I'm a pretty expert-level programmer, but I find that aider with o1 is helpful for things hairy, expansive and tedious things that would otherwise irritate.
