That's all good and well but its takes time to compare the products. And people are rarely willing to use paid product for comparison.

Yeah, and I'm usually the same, unless there is some free trial or similar, I'm unlikely to spend money unless I know it's good. My own calculation changed with the coming of better LLMs though. Even paying 200 EUR/month can be easily regained if you're say a freelance software engineer, so I'm starting to be a lot more flexible in "try for one month" subscriptions.
- xiphias2 1y agoI haven't read too much from others, but personally for me Codex online form was the biggest productivity boost in coding since the original Copilot. Cursor just deleted my unit tests too many times in agent mode. Codex 5x-ed my output, though the code is worse than I would write it, at this point the productivity improvement with passing tests, not deleting tests is just too good to be ignored anymore.
- miki123211 1y agoI just noticed that this is definitely true for me, but not if the product is pay to go. I have far fewer qualms about spending $10 on credits, even if I decide the product isn't worth it and never actually spend those credits, than about taking a free trial for a $5 subscription.
