Nah, a Chat is terrible for development. In my tears of working, i have only had the chance to start a new codebase 3-4 times. 90% of the time is spent modifying large existing systems, constantly changing them. The chat interface is terrible for this. It would be much better if it was more integrated with the codebase and editor

Cursor does all of this, and agent chats let you describe a new feature or an existing bug and it will search the entire codebase and add relevant code to its context automatically. You can optionally attach files for the context - code files that you want to add to the context up front, documentation for third-party calls, whatever you want. As a side note, "No, you're wrong" is not a great way to have a conversation.

  Yeah, that is right. I'll give Cursor a try, because I believe we can do much better than these hopeless chat windows!

    I've tried every LLM+IDE combo that I've heard about and Cursor is by far the best.
