How's their autocomplete? I'm honestly not interested in tighter integration of chatbots. What blew me away about Cursor was how much better it was at autocomplete. I honestly probably would have tried it sooner if people emphasized that strongly enough in online dialogs, but it weirdly always seems to get relegated to an afterthought compared to the flashy chatbot, which was... fine, I guess?
- baq 2y agoBecause the composer is actually the bees knees, especially on larger projects where you need to reference say 5 different files with interface definitions and 3 other libraries using them.
- lolinder 2y agoThat doesn't really answer my question about autocomplete. I don't actually find these editors useful, they try to do too much too fast. Cursor wasn't much better than Aider, which wasn't great. Where I do find value is in the autocomplete/next edit functionality.
- baq 2y agoYeah the tab completion is so much better than copilot 3 months ago (which is when I switched to cursor 100%) it isn't even funny. Copilot was getting less useful as the time went by - I guess they wanted to make it cheaper and dropped the ball on quality. Cursor OTOH sometimes reads minds.
- TiredOfLife 2y agoThe free Codeium autocomplete was what I was using for the past year and it was really good. And Windsurf added Supercomplete (basically Cursors tab tab compete), but only in paid version.
