Cursor has a free trial. Give it a try. AI is kinda personal, lots of people benefit, lots of people dislike it for many valid reasons. VS Code is very quickly catching up to Cursor as well (added tab-driven completions). Also you don’t have to be right on the edge of things. You can be, or you can wait for the dust to settle. Claude Code / OpenAI Codex and the agent modes are probably the edge now. Also if you’re still using a terminal (who isn’t), try Warp. It’s improved a ton over the last year, support more niche shells like Fish now. It’s actually a really “fluid” AI chat integration, because it smartly figures out when what you’re typing is not a command but a prompt. (It’s probably also on the edge, I haven’t figured out how to tell it “you’re wrong” when it asks for a permission for example, I have to “cancel” the chat).
